Congrats @Manasvinik! Love when people are thinking about this space. We've been working on this problem for the past 6 months or so. (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...) Happy to share insights and would love to grab coffee to chat more if you're interested. Some interesting things we've found: - The hardest part is getting people to a real life meeting. We've had to develop lots of followup logic to get this to happen. - Once people go on their first meeting, they continue to go. We're seeing 90+% second meetings and 80+% 30 day retention. - Locations matter alot. If someone can't get there in 5-10min they probably won't go. Also there's a big difference between times (9am, 10am, 2pm, etc) - We found that match quality was also really important. Once matched, if the person didn't see much value in meeting the person, no real life interaction (or any interaction) happens. Usually a "soft reject" happens by the person not interested just rescheduling indefinitely.
@zealoustiger Brian, Weave looks cool! Thanks for those insights, they're very interesting. Does Weave concentrate on location based meet ups? I'd love to talk more. :)
