About The Rallyes, the private business network born in Dubai

The Rallyes is a private business network born in Dubai and built to expand internationally. It gathers a selected community of entrepreneurs, investors, executives, athletes, experts and influential figures, and brings them together once a month around one theme and one private experience: a Rally.

Why The Rallyes exists

In life and in business, nobody is built alone. You can have the finest ideas, the greatest vision and all the ambition in the world, but without the right people around you, there will always be a ceiling. Some of the most important opportunities never come from a cold email, a business card or a traditional networking event. They come from trust. From an introduction. From a conversation at the right moment.

That is why The Rallyes was created. Not another networking event, but the opposite: a curated private circle where entrepreneurs, investors, athletes, executives, creatives and decision-makers meet beyond titles and industries, in a room where every person has been intentionally brought in. Networking is not about collecting contacts. It is about creating connections that have a reason to exist.

“Not to bring more people together. To bring the right people together.”

The founders

Mathilde De Filippo is the founder of Eivenn Real Estate. She came to Dubai with a vision she had carried for over a decade: to build more than an agency, a true concierge experience where every detail and the art of service matter. She helps her clients invest in international markets, and brings to The Rallyes her network of investors, clients and professional athletes, and an exacting culture of service.

Wissam Serdoun is the founder of Maison Serdoun, a house of niche perfumery built on a simple conviction: a fragrance is not an accessory, it is a signature. From brand creation and entrepreneurship, she brings a sharp sense of identity, storytelling and community, and a powerful ecosystem in the UAE. The Rallyes comes from the same instinct as her craft: patience, precision, and the belief that the right people in the right room create value that outlasts the event itself.

The Rallyes was born at the intersection of these two worlds. Two founders. Two complementary networks. One ecosystem.

One circle, five doors

• The Network: members chosen for what they build and what they bring. Membership is by introduction: a member proposes, the house decides.
• The Rallyes: a private evening at the end of each month, composed around a theme, table by table. By invitation only.
• The Platform: the members' private space. Contact details never circulate; an introduction is made only when both sides accept it.
• The Show: The Rallyes Show, first-hand stories of the path, the turning points and the lessons.
• The Magazine: published on the 15th of each month, it gives the circle a memory.

Born in Dubai. Built for the world.

The Rallyes began in Dubai, a city where athletes cross paths with entrepreneurs and investors meet founders. The ambition was never to remain within one city, but to connect people internationally while keeping the intimacy and the selection that gave birth to it.
