Hey guys, I'm Sanchita the founder of citysocializer. We're really happy to be here - citysocializer is all about bringing laid-back likeminded people together in the real world for fun nights out and doing more of the things they like with nice people around them. Here to answer any questions! Sanchita

@ubersaha Hi Sanchita, I think anything to do with 'the real world' is super interesting right now. It seems like the past 5 years has shed alot of stigma to online dating but new friend meet ups via online still feel kinda awkward? Would love to hear more about your thoughts/experiences on this and what you do on CS to help counter the high friction of getting people to meet in real world; first time user experience hacks etc. Cheers!

@cpresc Hey Chris, thanks for the question. So once you join a social that someone is hosting, there is a social chat to break the ice with others before you meetup, the host is on hand to answer any questions and coordinate everyone when they meet. But also, the people who host socials for others within the cs community tend to be real naturals at getting people together, making people feel at ease, making introductions etc. What we find is once people go to their first social, and see that the people they meet are totally "normal" - sociable, outgoing, confident folk like themselves they become hooked. And then once they've been to a few they build the confidence to host their own social to their favourite bars or doing their favourite activity - whether it's a concert they want to go to or just their local happy hour..

@ubersaha Interesting, thanks for sharing, so it's all about optimising time to value and getting people to their first CS gig asap! Would love to know what event invites convert first time users the best, big group parties or smaller more intimate meets? the former feels like more anxiety but less awkwardness and vice versa!

@cpresc Exactly - the highest converting "socials" for first time users are our New Member nights at local bars so you know you're gonna meet a bunch of other newbies in a casual environment. No name badges or any awkward "games" like speed-dating so to anyone else watching it just looks like a bunch of friends meeting up.

@ubersaha ah.. makes sense and an interesting insight. Tbh I didn't really consider the observation dynamic.. reminds me of Kathy Sierra's minimum viable badass tactics. Thanks for sharing and good luck with progress!

I've used this app on and off for a few years and always had a great time at their meetups. @ubersaha what's the deal with the mobile app? Is there one? Is it different to the website?

London is a fantastic city, but it can be daunting for new residents. City Socializer is a great way to meet new people and build your real world social network (while having a lot of fun at the same time).

Hi, do you see yourselves launching "verticals" for people in different stages of lives, e.g. as well as "new to city / young professionals" having "new parents" or perhaps "retirees" etc.

@chrispadfield Hey Chris, thanks for your question. We tested various verticals a while back and came to the conclusion that mixing everyone up to meet and hang out together, regardless of their reason for wanting to meet new people made things a bit more interesting. Our two main user groups are newcomers, and city settlers looking to meet new friends as theirs move away from the city. New parents aren;t a big market for us, as we find there are established routes to connecting with other new parents offline i.e. playgroups, childrens parks, baby groups, classes etc.

What I actually don't like is that you can't delete your account, just "pause" it indefinitely.

@bowlingx Thanks for your feedback David. From experience over 70% of users who closed their accounts or asked for their accounts to be deleted entirely, would come back within 1 - 2 years asking for their account to be re-activated - whether because they moved to (another) new city or neighbourhood or they found themselves in the scenario again where they wanted to meet new people.
