A new social app to help adults make friends ๐ค Cold start problem- they are paying people to host events. Just imagine if an app like this was built on an open social graph and they didnโt need to solve for 2 problems at once (create a new social graph from scratch , get grown ass adults to leave their house and make new friends) โPie is investing $1 million into its Creator Fund, which pays people between $5 and $10 per RSVP to host interesting events that bring people together.โ "If you're invited to everything, you kind of don't want to go," he said. "If you think about LinkedIn, it's almost like you're publishing to your first degree and your second degree connections. So Pie is built on friends of friends." https://techcrunch.com/2024/11/19/irl-social-app-pie-is-coming-to-sf-to-make-you-less-lonely/

Friends of friends is a pretty interesting idea by itself.

Crazy weโve gone from scheduling playdates for our kids to needing apps to schedule them for us. The loss of the 3rd place will just keep hitting harder I suspect. Glad someone is working on something ๐คทโโ๏ธ

Interesting! @jordanisgreen.eth, what do you think about paying people to go to events? Another community-based org that was recently brought to my attention is called The Conduit, which is a membership social club out of London and Oslo focused on solutions-driven events, impact investing and building. Not sure when theyโll be opening, but their NYC location is going to be in Madison Sq Park. I have mixed feelings of clubs like this (had high hopes for The Wing which fizzled) but excited for more opportunities to gather with action-oriented people and grow my network
