An activity with a Sponsor badge is considered commercial if the organizer is looking to earn money, promote products or services, or acquire new customers.

Important:

Sponsored activities are only allowed on Meet5 with prior approval. If you plan to host a commercial event, you must first contact us at business@meet5.com to become an official partner. We carefully vet partners to ensure a strong benefit to the community.

Examples of commercial activities: 

  • You run a yoga studio or work as a yoga instructor and want to offer paid classes through Meet5
  • You plan to host a free trial class or workshop as a way to attract new customers to your business
  • You organize an activity to support someone else's business, even if you're not directly involved (for example, promoting a friend’s studio or service)

In all of these cases, the activity has a promotional or financial intent and must be approved in advance.

If you're unsure whether your event qualifies as commercial, reach out to us before posting. This helps keep the platform fair, transparent, and focused on genuine social connection.

If you see a commercial activity posted by someone without an official Partner, Advertiser, Business, or Sponsor badge, please use the Report feature.
