Not all doors are visible.
Not all tables are open.

Mensa Alta (Latin: high table) exists quietly at the intersection of heritage and enigma, the first and only society of its kind. Conceived by the mysterious “Countess”, an Oxford alumna (Saïd Business School – Oriel College), Mensa Alta draws its spirit from a lineage older than many nations: candlelit halls, Latin invocations, and the hushed conversations of the 13th century that still echo through hallowed halls. Those who find their way to our table do not merely join a social club; they enter a timeless legacy.

An Exclusive Community of Luminaries

Mensa Alta unites alumni of Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford, MIT, and the Ivy League (Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard, Penn, Princeton, Yale)—an invisible constellation of ambition and influence. For those who have long since stepped beyond the quadrangles, we restore what was once effortless: proximity to brilliance and fellowship with equals. Wherever you are, there is a chapter waiting, though only if you know how to find it.

Curated, Invitation-Only Membership

Open only to exceptional alumni from across disciplines, it is a place where ideas take root, alliances are forged, and connections endure. We remain politically neutral and socially inclusive, committed to creating a space where brilliance is welcomed without boundary.

Membership is extended sparingly. Join our waitlist, and if your vision aligns with ours, we will personally reach out. No payment is required until you are welcomed at the table.

A Modern Legacy of Distinction

More than a network—it is a living legacy of heritage, intellect, and prestige. We offer a private space where the world’s most distinguished minds collaborate and where networking is not a buzzword, but a lived experience.
