Gist IRL

Gist IRL is an in-person social platform built around one idea: finding people you actually click with shouldn't be left to chance.
Every event uses our speed friending format - short one-on-one conversations rotating through the room, followed by a group activity like dinner, drinks, or an outing. Low pressure, high volume, and you'll meet people you'd never have crossed paths with otherwise.
Real connection takes both values alignment and personality fit. Our format is designed to find both, fast.
We run events in SF and LA, with more cities launching this year. Each is hosted by community members building something real in their city.
