Junto · Boston · Est MMXXVI
Where Boston’s curious ones already gather.
Junto is a deliberately curated membership in Boston — topical conversations, dinner debates, and socials. Membership is by introduction, so if you've made it to this page, someone already made the case for you. This application is where you make it yourself.
01 · The Idea
Named for the club Franklin started in 1727 to argue well with people he respected — and for the Spanish junto, meaning together. Same premise, this century, in Boston.
02 · The Room
One house, one long table, a bar that closes late. Intentional, so you'll know most of the room by your second event.
03 · The Members
Founders, curators, academics, cooks — people mid-career and mid-question. Curated one introduction at a time.

Junto Boston is a curated, in-person social club inspired by the original Junto founded by Benjamin Franklin — small groups meeting with intention, in a spirit of mutual respect, to build real relationships. We don't have a physical clubhouse; gatherings are hosted at a rotating set of venues around Greater Boston, from intimate dinners to larger socials that bring the whole community together.
Our members are founders, curators, academics, cooks — people mid-career and mid-question. We're less interested in a résumé than in who you are at the table. Membership is open to adults 21 and older, since many gatherings take place where alcohol is served.
Junto isn't an open sign-up — membership is by application and introduction. You can request an introduction through our website, and from there we may set up a conversation, a short waitlist, or an introductory event before extending an offer. Current members can also nominate people they think would be a great fit.
Expect dinner, conversation, and a bit of debate. We don't operate our own venue — events are hosted at select restaurants and bars around Greater Boston, chosen to keep things intimate rather than a big open party.
Yes — membership includes a recurring due, and some events carry their own attendance fee. We share the specifics during the introduction process rather than publishing pricing here.
For events open to guests, yes. Members are responsible for their guest's conduct while at a Junto event.
Yes to both. Members can pause their membership for a limited stretch each year, and can cancel at any time — just reach out to the team. There's no long-term lock-in.
Junto is launching in Fall 2026. Sign up on our email list on our website to stay up to date — or if you already have a referral code, you can apply below.
