The Problem We Name Plainly
We are solving the lack of community outside of Sundays.
Community exists on Sunday. Then come six days of building, leading, and carrying things — often alone. We don’t think that lack is a taboo thing to say. We think it’s the thing to solve.
DONYAE is a private social ecosystem for founders, executives, investors, and creatives who believe the right room changes everything.

Nº 01 — What the Week Holds
Six ways
we gather.
02
WELLNESS
Health and restoration as a rhythm, not a resolution. Early movement, midweek resets, and space to breathe in the middle of the build.
Wellness
03
CONVERSATION
Unhurried evenings and small tables with one honest topic. No panels, no pitching — introductions that happen on their own.
Conversation
04
THE WORK
Founders, executives, investors, and creatives sharing what’s real about building something that matters — not just the wins.
Business & Building
05
CULTURE
Music, listening, and late light — the creative life of the city, taken seriously and enjoyed slowly.
Creativity
06
TRAVEL
A future phase: the community, taken on the road. Members will hear about it first.
A Future Phase
A chef’s table one week. A sunrise run the next. A room where the right introduction happens on its own. The calendar itself is shared with members.
Nº 02 — The Experience
Intentional
Every gathering is designed, never accidental.
Intimate
Small rooms. Real conversation.
Influential
People who are building, leading, and giving.
Timeless
Depth and manners over noise.
The Community
We have no fixed
address.
Our gatherings are hosted with restaurants, private spaces, and wellness studios across Dallas–Fort Worth. The community is the house.
Membership is extended by invitation and application. Not to keep people out — to keep the room right.
Nº 03 — The Rhythm
The week at DONYAE
One signature table each month. Mornings that move. Evenings that linger.
Monthly
The Table
Our signature dinner. Twelve seats, one long table, one conversation that matters.
Weekly
Wellness
Early movement at an easy pace, coffee after — and midweek restoration in the middle of the build. All levels welcome.
Through the Season
Conversation
Unhurried evenings with a featured guest, and small tables with one honest topic — the heart of our Beyond Sundays conversations. No panels and no pitching.
Through the Season
Culture & the Work
Evenings of music and listening — and rooms where builders share what’s real about the work.
Members can count on the rhythm; the calendar itself is shared with members.
