Live Before the Internet

In a world dominated by screens, Before the Internet™ is dedicated to reviving the art of real-life connections.

Through events and apparel, this initiative promotes social wellness by encouraging individuals to be present in the moment. The goal is to foster a sense of community and belonging, reminiscent of a time before the internet reshaped social interactions. They accomplish this by making their events “phone free” and encouraging members to socialize with people they have not met before.

As a proud sponsor of Live Before the Internet’s event at 123 Datura, Crux Coffee Roasters helped foster real-life connections by providing guests with free cold brew—fueling meaningful conversations and moments of togetherness.
