The 3rd Space Bucharest community together on stage at an event

Partner with 3rd Space

We don't have an audience. We have a community.

People come to 3rd Space because they want to meet interesting people. We're looking for a handful of brands, venues and communities to build something with.

The 3rd Space community

People who choose to be in the room.

FoundersProfessionalsCreativesEntrepreneursCurious humans

They come to cocktail socials, game nights, dinners, padel events, AI workshops and other experiences around Bucharest. And many of them come back.

That's important. We're not simply putting an advertisement in front of people. We're creating experiences that people actively choose to attend.

Who's in the room?

Established professionals in their 30s and 40s.

With Bucharest at the heart of the community.

A community that exists beyond the event

The relationship doesn't end when the event does.

3rd Space has grown into an ecosystem of events, content and conversations.

In person

Where it starts

Cocktail socials · Game nights · Padel · Dinners · AI workshops · Founder events · Creative events · Community experiences

Stories, ideas and updates from the community.

Conversations with interesting people doing interesting things.

People, events and moments from 3rd Space.

TikTok

Short-form stories and community content.

Longer conversations, ideas and stories.

WhatsApp

Where the community stays connected between events.

One community. A lot of ways to be part of it.

Why partner with 3rd Space?

Don't sponsor an event. Build something with us.

We're not interested in creating endless one-off sponsorship deals. We're interested in finding partners where there's a genuine fit. That could mean:

i.

Creating an experience

Design something your audience will actually enjoy.

ii.

Hosting an event

Bring the 3rd Space community into your space.

iii.

Co-hosting

Combine your community with ours.

iv.

Supporting an event

Help us create something bigger or better.

v.

Creating content

Tell a story, start a conversation or introduce something interesting to the community.

vi.

A longer-term partnership

Find several ways for your brand and the community to interact over time.

The best partnerships don't feel like sponsorships.

They feel like something that should have existed anyway.

What could we build together?

Give people a reason to remember your brand.

i.

A recurring social

Your venue becomes the home of a regular 3rd Space experience.

ii.

A community experience

Food. Wine. Wellness. Sport. Travel. Culture. Whatever fits.

iii.

A learning experience

Bring an expert, idea or topic to the community.

iv.

A conversation

Co-host a podcast, panel or intimate conversation around something your brand genuinely cares about.

v.

A venue partnership

You have an interesting space. We have interesting people. Let's put them together.

vi.

A community collaboration

You have a community. We have a community. Let's introduce them.

vii.

Something we haven't thought of yet

We're open to good ideas.

Have an idea already?

Tell us. We'll figure out the format together.

Have a space people would love to discover?

You bring the space. We'll bring the people.

We're always interested in discovering interesting venues around Bucharest.

Restaurants.Hotels.Rooftops.Studios.Offices.Galleries.Gardens.Clubs.And the occasional place we didn't know existed.

If you have a space where interesting people could meet, let's create something there. The goal isn't simply to fill a room — it's to give people a reason to discover your space, and remember it.

Already have a community?

Let's put our people in the same room.

Maybe you're a founder. A community builder. A professional association. A creator. A company with an engaged customer base. You don't need to build another event from scratch — we can build one together.

  • You bring your people.
  • We bring ours.
  • We figure out the format.
  • And everyone meets someone new.

Want to put your brand in the room?

We can do that too.

We work with brands that want to reach the 3rd Space community through thoughtfully designed partnerships. Depending on the partner, that might include:

  • Event sponsorship
  • Product experiences
  • Brand activations
  • Community offers
  • Content
  • Podcast conversations
  • Social amplification
  • Venue partnerships
  • Co-hosted events
  • Longer-term community partnerships

But we don't believe every partner needs the same package. Tell us what you're trying to achieve. We'll figure out what makes sense.

The important part

People remember experiences. They forget advertisements.

Someone might scroll past your sponsored Instagram post in half a second. It's harder to forget:

  • The night they met a new friend.
  • The restaurant where they discovered their new favourite place.
  • The conversation that turned into an opportunity.
  • The game they couldn't stop laughing about.
  • The event where they finally met someone they'd been meaning to meet.

That's the kind of environment we want our partners to be part of. Not just seen. Experienced.

“Thank you, Eric, for creating such a cool space and bringing great minds together through 3rd Space Bucharest. I made some lovely new connections, and the first collaboration is already on the way!”

The 3rd Space philosophy

We don't want 50 sponsors.

We'd rather have a handful of genuinely interesting partners.

Partners who understand that communities aren't advertising inventory. They're relationships. And the most valuable partnerships are the ones where everyone gets something out of being in the same room.

You bring something valuable. We bring something valuable. Together, we create something neither of us could have created alone.

Let's make something people remember.

We're looking for a small number of brands, venues, communities and organisations that want to build something with 3rd Space Bucharest.

Maybe you have an idea already. Maybe you have a space.
Maybe you have a community. Maybe you have a brand that would fit naturally into ours.
Or maybe you just think there's something interesting we could do together.

Let's talk.
