Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

We have readings.

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

We have a lot of clubs now.

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

So we're

First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

book clubs, run clubs, knitting clubs, volunteer groups, birdwatching groups, pickup basketball groups.

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

And so what we're thinking a lot about is we've started to see so much traction with just people engaging with these public events and with our Discover feed.

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

Now we're thinking a lot about how do we...

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

how do we support the communities that are forming around these events?

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

Because sometimes it's not just a one-off event.

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

It's, I'm part of a book club and we actually meet every single week and we want a place to talk about our, you know, the book, the chapter we're reading before we show up.

Prof G Markets

We want something recurring, a recurring space where we can connect even outside of the larger events that we're having.

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

Or, you know, if you're

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

volunteer group, you might throw a few big fundraisers a year for the cause that you're supporting, but your group might be hanging out way more frequently than that.

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

And so how can we power not just your annual fundraiser, but also all of the smaller meetups that you're happening along the way?

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

And so that's what's next for us this year is really facilitating so many more of the

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

in-person experiences that people are already having and bringing to those experiences what we brought to parties and events, which is ease and delight.

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

It is.

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

Thank you.

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

Starting a company is the hardest thing that I've ever done.

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

And when I talk to other founders, they all say the same thing.

Prof G Markets
First Time Founders: How Partiful Is Fixing the Loneliness Crisis

And when it's so hard, the rebuttable presumption is to not do it.
