Mesa connects nightclub VIP tables with guests, creating shared experiences while generating revenue for hosts, venues, and our platform.
Massive capacity waste in premium nightlife experiences across Colombia's top venues
Even with empty seats costing thousands of pesos per night
VIP experiences too expensive for individual guests to access
Last-minute openings go unfilled, revenue opportunities lost
Strangers can't safely connect for shared experiences
VIP tables booked weekly in BogotΓ‘ alone.
Our research shows 3 of every 4 tables have unused capacity.
We turn empty table seats into revenue while creating unforgettable shared experiences.
Share your booked VIP table. Set price, capacity, and house rules.
Browse tables in their city. Filter by vibe, price, and verified hosts.
Split costs, meet people. Hosts earn back 40-60% of spend. Venues fill more tables.

We understand Colombian party culture, payment preferences (Nequi/PSE), and safety concerns better than US competitors.
More hosts β more table options β more guests β more revenue for hosts β more hosts join. Defensible flywheel.
Identity verification, in-app dispute resolution, and host ratings create safer experiences than informal WhatsApp groups.
We know which tables fill fastest, optimal pricing, and user preferences. This improves matching over time (AI moat).
