In a world increasingly driven by exclusive experiences, Select has positioned itself as a game-changer in the realm of digital luxury memberships. With a bold mission to create “the best digital membership and concierge service in the world,” Select unlocks a level of privileged access, insider pricing, and VIP treatment that redefines the modern luxury lifestyle.

At the helm is serial entrepreneur Carlo Cisco, whose vision has propelled Select to the top of elite membership programs. Through a meticulously curated partner network that spans over 1.5 million global locations, Select delivers unparalleled perks. From significant discounts at top-tier restaurants and luxury brands to exclusive access at world-renowned hotels and resorts, Select’s offerings are as expansive as they are refined.

The network includes enviable partnerships with esteemed brands such as BMW, Porsche Drive, Tumi, Diptyque, and Royal Caribbean. Dining enthusiasts enjoy ongoing privileges, including 15-30% off or complimentary drinks at hundreds of premier restaurants in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Select’s travel offerings boast unpublished rates of up to 60% off at hundreds of thousands of hotels and resorts worldwide.

A recent addition to Select’s impressive suite of benefits is new VIP amenities at 5,000+ luxury hotels and resorts, including iconic names like the Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, Waldorf Astoria, and Peninsula. Members can indulge in early check-ins, room upgrades, complimentary breakfast, hotel credits, and bespoke welcome amenities—privileges that can elevate every stay to a world-class experience.

“We identified an opportunity to enhance the way businesses and high-net-worth individuals connect,” says Cisco. His commitment to offering a sustainable, brand-enhancing platform that fosters long-term relationships between premium brands and their clientele has been a cornerstone of Select’s success.

Another area with exciting additions is in the entertainment space. Select has partnerships for special access with the F1 Miami Grand Prix and the Miami Open and recently added the Masters and the US Open in New York for exclusive tickets and VIP experiences. These annual events have been a hit with members, and the relationships have become recurring and spurred additional opportunities, such as access during the F1 US Grand Prix.

Select hosts its own events as well. These exclusive gatherings range from private dinners and cocktail hours to gallery openings and VIP access to high-profile events such as New York Fashion Week and Miami Art Week.

Lastly, Select is announcing the launch of a unique partnership for a member investment syndicate to grant members coveted access to rare private market investment opportunities typically reserved for venture capitalists and institutional investors. Through this syndicate, Select members will be able to invest in high-potential startups across various sectors—technology, healthcare, consumer goods, and more—before they go public. The syndicate offers a unique opportunity to diversify portfolios and tap into the wealth-building potential of early-stage and pre-IPO companies that are often inaccessible to everyday investors. Early opportunities have enabled members to invest alongside some of the most noteworthy investors, including top-tier funds like Founders Fund and Khosla Ventures and renowned angels like OpenAI’s Sam Altman.

As Select continues its rapid growth, the future looks even more promising. Cisco hinted at exciting developments on the horizon, including the introduction of user-facing AI tools to enhance travel, dining, and entertainment planning, as well as an expansion of the platform’s member recommendations feature.

Select is not just a membership—it’s a lifestyle designed for those who seek the best the world has to offer. With its unique benefits, concierge service, and exclusive access to luxury events and experiences, Select is redefining what a membership can be. Explore Select membership today.
