I was testing a hypothesis, but not sure it worked. I think it didn't

Well, the hypothesis is: founders want to meet others in person

To test and validate this hypothesis, I created a notifications button, changed the website copy to focus on in person meetings and started emailing founders who were near each other.

I then joined some whatsapp groups and also launched on TravelMassive.

I have not got many new founders join because of this feature.

Now, I need to think about what else to do to bring more founders on board. Maybe I should double down on the idea that founders join FoundersAround to promote themselves.

What do you think?
