hey guys, some more background information: four&me is a social discovery network that enables you to search, create and join activities in groups up to five individuals. we've just launched our mvp today. any feedback or thoughts? this would be crucial for us to validate our hypothesis.

I downloaded the app and an iPad and found that the three suggestions I was able to visit were fairly boring. One interesting unscalable idea would be to find 10 events that are truly unique and create an event for those. Just grabbing coffee is not super interesting but if you had a very unique type of event(e.g if one of you is an archer teach four people archery) I would definitely check it out.

The app lives from user content =). We've just launched it yesterday night. So please feel free to spread the word and create many creative and interesting activities. We will do so as well of course.

Come see us also at the Launch Festival in SF, March 2-4. Happy to have a discussion and get your thoughts :) We provide original Haribo gummibears from Germany hehe.

It's user content but it's your company. You need to jumpstart it http://paulgraham.com/ds.html

This would be such a bless for lonely people like me, even if I get rejected by one team you could always try next time with different people.

Even if the site doesn't go viral, I'm sure many people would love for it to stay alive, it can have more impact than most startups out there that's for sure.

It has the chicken and egg problem but surely you can figure it out. Best luck.

thanks for your thoughts! i just relocated from germany to the bay area to start a new job and have exactly the problem you've described. Finding people with similar interests was easy at college, but after graduating it gets a bit more complicated. thats the problem i want to solve for me personally for example. =) Best, Ismail @ismlsrn

That's pretty cool. I relocated to Berlin recently.

I wanted to tackle the same problem but in a different way. The solution I'm building is still in dev but is more similar to complete app (social to do app).

Thanks! I grew up in Berlin. Let's catch up for a coffee, when I'm back home one time, if you'd like to?

What is the hypothesis?

[fourandme]

Our hypothesis is that people will connect with others online and get together for activities offline. We want to provide the flexibility to do activities of any kind everywhere, e.g. joining for a run in the morning in city A with two persons, going for a coffee after lunch in city B with one person and having dinner+drinks in city C with four persons.
