Social & Community
A members-only offline social network that connects people in tech and creative industries for one-on-one breakfast meetings.
Overview
The Breakfast is an intentional social networking application designed to facilitate meaningful, real-life connections over breakfast. By moving away from swiping, professional pitching, or dating, the platform uses a proprietary algorithm to introduce members to one interesting person in their city each day. It aims to foster serendipitous, high-quality, one-on-one conversations that exist outside of a user's typical social or professional bubble.

Founder story
The Breakfast was built to solve the difficulty of making genuine new connections as an adult, particularly for those in fast-paced or remote-work environments.
