The club

A private club for people with full lives.

Vellum is built for high-intent adults in Tehran who are tired of noisy apps, low-quality chats, and public exposure. It is quiet by design — a smaller, more careful place to meet people worth meeting.

What we hold to

The principles of the club

Membership before access

You apply, verify, and are reviewed before meaningful participation. Access is earned, not automatic.

Privacy by default

No public directory, no exact location, no public verification photo, no forced profile picture.

Curation before scale

Fewer, better interactions are always preferable to large, low-quality activity.

No public rejection

One-sided interest always stays private. No one is ever shown who declined them.

Formed, not browsed

Circles form around your fit, with warm-ups before you meet, while limits and moderation keep quality high.

Credit protects quality

Vellum Credit signals commitment and reduces no-shows. It is never used to buy access to people.
