Celest started Big Brain Club from a deeply personal place. After graduating, she found that making friends without a natural context: a class, a team, a shared routine — was quietly one of the hardest things about growing up. Networking events offered a solution that never quite fit. Too formal. Too transactional. Too exhausting. What she wanted was simpler: a reason to show up, something to do together, and the kind of conversations that happen when your guard is down.

Jocelyn is the reason Big Brain Club thinks bigger. She's spent years as a mentor watching bright, capable young people struggle not with ambition — but with belonging. She noticed that Gen Z was being handed networking events when what they actually needed was genuine connection. And she knew board games could bridge that gap — she'd experienced it herself. Jocelyn became a mentor because she once needed one too. That memory shapes everything she builds. Big Brain Club is her commitment to making sure the next generation doesn't have to figure it out alone.
