The Ark
Our Mission
We are building a space where young adults can connect with purpose, faith, and each other in a way that feels elevated, modern, and alive. The ARK is more than an event, it’s the beginning of a movement where faith and ambition intersect.
Our Vision
To create a recurring series of intentional gatherings that bridge culture, creativity, and spirituality. Starting in New York City, we envision The ARK expanding to other cities and becoming a global network of purpose-driven leaders.
The Opportunity

The Opportunity
The Rise of Purpose-Driven Socializing
Young adults are rejecting empty nights out and seeking community that matters. • Over 60% of Gen Z report feeling lonely on a regular basis (Cigna, 2023). • The sober-curious movement is booming: Nielsen found 41% of U.S. adults are actively trying to drink less. • The ARK meets both needs—an elevated environment with connection, music, and meaning, without compromise.
A White Space Between Nightlife and Church
There’s no existing “third space” where culture, faith, and community intersect. • Nightlife offers energy but leaves people spiritually drained. • Church offers depth but can feel intimidating or inaccessible to newcomers. • The ARK bridges the gap: the vibrancy of a rooftop mixer with the nourishment of fellowship. This is a category-creating opportunity.
Scalable Model with Global Potential
The ARK is not just an event—it’s a replicable framework. • Andrew Yeung scaled from one NYC mixer to 100+ events, 30k attendees, 8 cities in under 3 years. • The ARK is positioned to grow the same way: starting in New York, then expanding to hubs like LA, Miami, and Barcelona. • Each gathering becomes both content fuel (photos, stories, reels) and community infrastructure, compounding growth over time.
