Small tables, thoughtfully set
Circles are curated, time-bound gatherings for eight to twelve people — the heart of Vellum. They create the shared context that private introductions grow from.
Physical
In-person evenings around Tehran. The exact venue is shared privately after you reserve.
Virtual
Online tables you can join from anywhere. A private link is shared in the Circle Room after reserving.
Hybrid
A mix of in-person and online, for gatherings that bridge both worlds.

Members see the full list, with eligibility and reservations.
An unhurried table for eight to twelve
Slow conversation, thoughtful people, no small talk, no agenda — just the right people, in the right room.
The Circle Room opens beforehand, so the table isn't strangers when you arrive.
An evening of unhurried conversation. A Vellum host keeps things easy.
Afterwards, Circle Picks open — privately choose who you'd be open to continuing with.
First shared context, then private selection
After a Circle, privately choose who you’d be open to continuing with — only people who were actually there. If it’s mutual, a private introduction opens.
