There are tons of digital products to help meet new friends. Did he not even check Meetup? This just seems naive.
- asider 15y agoMeetup is a great pioneer in the space, but there is still a lot of room for innovation.
- potatolicious 15y agoI've used Meetup in two cities now (Seattle and SF) and I don't consider it a great platform for meeting friends. It's a great platform for people with common interests to go out and do X, but I find its convertibility into actual friendships is really low. The organizer-driven flow also means that if the group organizer slacks, the whole community goes kaput. It's rare to find a group with a dedicated enough organizer pool to keep things going week after week. It's ripe for disruption really.
