Our take

Lunchclub is an AI-powered social platform for professional connection. By leveraging machine learning, Lunchclub makes it easier for professionals to meet and connect with like-minded individuals anywhere in the world.

Lunchclub's AI connects users with common experiences, goals and interests, acting much like a dating app. The algorithm connects you to a new contact every week, and facilitates one-on-one conversations. Lunchclub further distinguishes itself from rival networking platforms by catering to everyone from new founders looking for staff, to content creators and freelancers.

Having focused primarily on video and remote meetings over the last two years, Lunchclub is beginning to expand further into face-to-face meetings. This will be an important step in Lunchclub's future success. The company has also expanded its marketing team in order to further scale its network.
