What MORE Networking does

MORE Networking is a Romanian private business networking community founded in March 2016 in Bucharest by Roxana Domnica and Dan Domnica, operating under the M.O.R.E. acronym (Methods, People, Recommendations, Enthusiasm). It serves local entrepreneurs, department directors, and freelancers who purchase memberships to attend structured, non-competitive bi-monthly networking meetings and workshops. The community is organized into three teams — LEADERS, IMPACT, and ELITE — segmented by business maturity and sector, with domain exclusivity preventing direct competitors from sharing a group, and each meeting guaranteed to include at least 20 entrepreneurs.

The product portfolio centers on tiered memberships (single meeting at 75 Lei, semi-annual at €490 for 10 meetings plus 10 workshops, and annual at €725 for 20 meetings plus 20 workshops), supplemented by an annual conference, a multi-day Tabăra de networking camp launched in 2021, Networking After Work events, and Networking Party gatherings. There is no proprietary technology platform; operations run on a WordPress website, YouTube, Instagram, email newsletter, and physical events held at venues such as Hotel Capital Plaza and Hotel Marshal in Bucharest. Additional community assets include the MORE Library content initiative and a money-back guarantee after the first month to reduce trial friction.

Commercially, MORE Networking is a founder-owned, self-funded private business with 1–10 employees and no disclosed external investment, acquisitions, or institutional ownership. Distribution is direct and domestic-only, relying on word-of-mouth referrals, trial meetings at a 90 Lei protocol fee, blog content, and selective event partnerships (e.g., Fuckup Nights Bucharest, Gala Ziarului News 2023). Revenue is generated entirely from membership fees and per-meeting charges, with no published financials, making the unit-economics profile unobservable beyond the publicly stated price points and meeting volume commitments.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Direct peers

• BNI (Business Network International): Global structured business networking organization built around weekly chapter meetings, one-professional-per-category exclusivity, and referral-based member economics. Same core operating model as MORE Networking, but at global scale and with formal chapter/franchise governance.
• Athena Network: Women-focused business networking organization running structured meetings with category exclusivity, speaker slots, and 1x1 sessions. Comparable in format and community-led economics, though narrower in target audience.
• 4Networking: UK-based structured business networking organization running regular breakfast and open-networking meetings for SMEs and self-employed professionals. Closely matches MORE's bimonthly-meeting cadence, SME target audience, and meeting-format value proposition.
• Le Tip: US chapter-based business networking organization with weekly breakfast meetings, structured 1x1 slots, and category-exclusivity per chapter. Operates the same model MORE Networking runs at smaller scale in Bucharest.

Broad incumbents

• Vistage Worldwide: Global peer-advisory organization for SME CEOs and business leaders running facilitated peer group meetings plus executive coaching. Overlaps with MORE's LEADERS segment at the high end of the SME market, but operates at much higher price points and scale.
• Entrepreneurs' Organization (EO): Global peer network for entrepreneurs running local chapter events, learning forums, and conferences. Comparable on the entrepreneur-member dimension and on annual flagship events, though positioned as a peer-learning platform rather than a referral engine.

Emerging players

• Lunchclub: AI-driven 1:1 professional networking platform that matches users for virtual meetings. Represents the digital-native alternative to in-person structured networking, competing for the same end-customer attention and ROI on time spent.

Regional players

• Romanian Business Leaders (RBL): Romanian business community and advocacy organization for senior executives and entrepreneurs, running events and curated forums in Bucharest and other major cities. Adjacent Romanian peer organization targeting a more senior entrepreneur/CEO demographic than MORE Networking.
• BNI Romania: Romanian national chapter of BNI running structured referral-based networking groups across multiple Romanian cities. The most directly comparable competitor for MORE Networking within Romania itself, with stronger brand recognition but a more rigid one-meeting-per-week cadence.

Others

• Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Romania: National chamber of commerce organizing B2B events, networking forums, and business delegations for Romanian SMEs. Not a direct competitor but an adjacent institutional organizer of business networking experiences in the same geography.
