Guides for hosts

How to host people who'll be glad they came.

You bring people together. We make the introductions, one person at a time. What to expect and what to do at each stage, for one evening or a community that meets all year.

Five things every host should know

  • Invite, never enroll.

    Nobody is added without saying yes, and nobody meets anyone without both people saying yes.

  • One good coffee beats ten.

    Each person gets one introduction at a time. Depth comes before reach.

  • Quiet is allowed.

    Members can pause or leave without explaining. A paused member is a member who'll come back.

  • Celebrate meetings, not numbers.

    A coffee that happened is the result. Everything else is a step toward it.

  • What's said stays between two people.

    You see who was introduced. Never what they talked about.
