Why we’re doing this:

The best connections don’t happen at conferences or online — they happen over a meal.

How it works:

Take a short personality quiz · Get matched with 5 compatible guests · We pick the restaurant, handle the details, and provide conversation starters.

You just show up.

Dinners are happening in Mount Pleasant, where we’re gathering small groups for meaningful conversation and great company — all around one table.
