Social Infrastructure
The Logistics for Meeting New People
We handle the scheduling, context, and introductions so you can focus on the conversation.
The Infrastructure of Connection
We handle the logistics to remove the social anxiety, so you can focus entirely on the connection.
Join Your Tribe
You don't join a "mixer." You join an event for "Hikers," "Engineers," "Local Artists," or "First-Year Students." You're with your people from the start.
Meet With Confidence
When the timer starts, find your partner and talk about what you both love. When it ends, you move on. No awkward exits, just quality conversations.
Build Together
Connect with your people and grow together. The relationships you form here become the foundation of your community.
Real Life > News Feeds
Connection over Content
Traditional social apps fight for your attention span. We fight for your social life. Our goal isn't to keep you scrolling; it's to get you offline.
Logistics over Algorithms
You don't need another algorithm guessing who you might like. You need a system that actually introduces you. We manage the clock, rotation, and venue.
Context over Cold Approaches
Sliding into DMs is awkward. Gist provides the "Warm Introduction" at scale. Everyone is opted-in and there for the same reason.
Who We Serve
For Attendees
The Connected
The core Gist experience is free. For those who want to maximize their time, our Premium subscription offers Intelligent Matching—curated matching that ensures every conversation is relevant and meaningful.
For Hosts
The Connectors: Revitalizing Third Places
Local businesses are the backbone of community. Gist turns empty seats into active community hubs, helping local venues thrive by bringing people back together offline.
The Future is Rebuilding Our Social Fabric
Social media allows you to follow people. We build the infrastructure to actually meet them.
We're moving social networking off the screen and into the city.
