Co-creating Bridgit

I'm excited about my involvement in creating 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗶𝘁, 𝗮𝗻 𝗔𝗜 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘇𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲. It helps you find the right coffee or lunch buddy in your neighborhood or office building and arrange activities like hikes, sports events, concerts, and dinners. I t's as simple as using Tinder, but for social life.

I'm excited for two reasons.

One, it's been a long time since I've been part of a consumer anything (I've been in B2B nearly forever).

Two, 60% of adults in the U.S. report regularly feeling lonely. Yes, even though we live in the busiest parts of the world, we are lonelier than ever!

I'd appreciate your help with a few things to 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗶𝘁 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝘆.

First, if you or someone you know owns or manages a café, gym, sports or music venue, or a leisure or hobby activity provider, please spread the word about Bridgit. Such a place does not need Bridgit to have 10 million users. It will attract new and returning clients even if Bridgit only has 20 users in the neighborhood. By placing information about Bridgit at the venue or online, people will find the right buddy to enjoy the place or activity with. We will make sure the venue is rewarded for its help in the long term. Our focus is on SF and LA in California and NY, but we're open to other parts of the world as well. Best way to discuss: partner@settledbybridgit.com or DM me.

Second, we are looking for early hires and co-founders in product, community, and partnerships, as well as advisors. Social media experience would be a great bonus. The best way to inquire: info@xyzcombinator.com (subject: Join Bridgit). Or, DM me.

Third, if you're busy building your career or family, or both, or are a digital nomad, join Bridgit at https://lnkd.in/d7TKaD9j (no mobile app yet, just a browser version) and submit your feedback on anything that isn't working or that you'd like to see done differently. We are still in the early stages, so we would appreciate any feedback, criticism, comments, and suggestions. No mob.app, just browser version for now.
