EatWith

EatWith has been around a while and just announced an $8M fundraise from Greylock. The model is similar to Grubwithus, a service I used to use shortly after I moved to SF, now in the deadpool.

Looks interesting. Reminds me of Housefed. Emile (the founder of Housefed) actually chimed in on this Quora thread about the "AirBnB" of food. http://www.quora.com/Will-Airbnb...

@alxmlv Interesting concept and will work for those looking to meet new people. I am not sure how huge the market is for this

As much as I love the idea, I'm sceptical about P2P for services in general: the marginal costs are just too high for a non professional to compete with a professional who has economies of scale. More on this, including a scrappy little framework to evaluate P2P models: http://lasseclausen.tumblr.com/p...

I've used many times and many dinners are more of an experience than just a dinner.

This is cool!
