Brian from Weave here. We're the other app mentioned in the earlier techcrunch article and in the comments: http://techcrunch.com/2014/05/01/brian-ma-weave/

Glad to see other entrepreneurs innovating in the space.

@syed123 - looking forward to trying LetsLunch mobile.

@JimmaDaRustia - we're on both iOS and Android if you wanna give us a shot.


Hwdy,

Just curious if you can answer this... I worked at the original Decide.com in 1999 before the down-turn...

How much did you acquire that domain name for when you launched your version of decide.com?


Haha, funny. A lot, but it was worth it. $175k.


+1 for weave. I use it for 4 weeks now, had 10+ matches and met 4 people. And I enjoyed every meeting! Thanks Brian.


I tried and liked the iOS P2P app getLoopd.com. I suggested to a friend who is an event organizer, he and agreed to try it at one of his mixers. He encouraged us to keep our iPhones in our pockets while we talked with each other. And, between moving around the room, I selected who I wanted to connect with and they got back pretty fast. I think everyone had the same experience. Made some good connections for my business. From reading about the Tinder-like matching apps, I think getLoopd is a totally different beast - it doesn't roam anonymously. It uses Bluetooth so best when you talking with someone who is a few feet away.


Looks like the idea I had a year ago had some value: https://twitter.com/garietyxxx/status/357238902349758465


Ahhh gotta love that never-ending list of apps to build.


I know, this one's buried in the list.


Good job, what's the next idea you have? :)


Move to the woods and fish.


Love this, especially if they get an Android app!


Hi JimmaDaRustla, check out Stratworking: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.meetupslid...

This uses minimal permissions as compared to Networkr and is much more forgiving on your battery.


We just released Stratworking last night! We leverage bluetooth to find people around you. This strategy makes the most sense if you are in a setting where the density of people is high (networking events, conferences, etc).

http://www.LetsLunch.com mobile app is next!


Nice service. Just what I've been looking for. Not a big fan of the design though. It's also somewhat laggy (edit: and now it's down). Looks like you've gotten good traction already. Have you described somewhere growth hacks that you used to get to this point?


yes a redesign, better UX and mobile app work is going on in our laboratory :-) I will write a blogpost soon on growth hacks. Wrote some of psychological aspects of running startups on my blog http://SyedShuttari.com
