About us.

Move More Collective was built for the rising adult generation — a true collective connecting brands, creators, and communities around the shared mission of sustainable culture norms.

What Drives Us

Goal. How. Mission.

Three statements that define where we work and why. Together they're the foundation behind every event, partnership, and piece of content we make.

Goal

Support the generational shift.

Support the changing generational social culture through premium experiences and content.

How

Shine a light. Offer a path.

By shining a light on how our choices affect social and mental wellness — and providing the optionality to improve.

Mission

Voice the understated pillars.

Encourage more sustainable culture norms through giving a voice to the understated pillars of wellness.

Pillars of Holistic Wellness

Mental. Social.
Both understated.

Physical wellness is everywhere. Mental and social wellness are the understated pillars of the rising era — and that's where we work.

Physical

The pillar everyone talks about. Strength, cardio, nutrition. Already well-served by the existing wellness industry.

Mental

Nervous-system regulation, mood, mental health awareness — the half of wellness most likely to be quietly neglected. Where MMC partners with Active Minds to lead.

Social

Connection without compromise. Authentic gatherings that don't depend on substances or algorithms. The category we were built for.

The Team

Mission-driven
at our core.

Former investment bankers, event producers, wellness practitioners, and viral content strategists — all with wellness now central to everything they do.

Founder

Mike Cavallaro

Founder & CEO · Move More Collective

Mike has long dreamed of a world where social all-nighters, relentless fitness pursuit, and peak mental health could all coexist. A former college athlete, personal trainer, investment banker, and strategy director of a venture-backed company, he's continually sought out and embraced the opportunity to just generally do hard things.

Over 7 years in investment banking, he worked hand-in-hand with some of the most recognizable private equity and strategic minds in today's consumer economy. Having struggled to escape the flywheel of party culture post-college, he recognized the holistic need to redefine young adult social culture in America.

A social butterfly and EQ savant to his core, Mike has lived in and maintains a top-tier multi-disciplinary wellness and influencer network in cities like Boston, Atlanta, NYC, Austin, and beyond.
