“Community” has become the most overused word on the internet. But a community isn’t a group chat. It’s people — sitting across from each other, sharing a meal. 🚀 That’s why today we’re launching something big: DNNR (pronounced dinner) A white-labeled dinner club engine that lets any creator, community, or brand bring launch their own dinner club — in one city or around the world 🥂 What makes it special You customize your club page and short personality quiz — then all you have to do is announce it. Your audience takes the quiz, pays to book a seat, and our matching engine does the rest: Tables of six, smartly matched, in restaurants revealed the morning of. After dinner, everyone meets up for cocktails with the other tables. It’s part dinner party, part mystery, part social magic. The algorithm is yours — customized to your community — and the night unfolds like a beautiful game of clue. Compared to meetups, something wild happens: Because people pay, everyone shows up. Because it’s dinner (not networking), everyone shows up *on time*. And because they already share something in common, every table feels like it was meant to be. 🧠 Why it works There’s something ancient about breaking bread together. We’ve been gathering around the table for thousands of years — it’s the oldest technology for human connection. DNNR makes it effortless. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned from years of building meetup communities and made it plug-and-play: the restaurant reservations, the group matching, the reminders — all handled. 💸 For creators, communities, and brands We’ve been quietly testing this with a handful of communities — and it’s thriving. Dinners are selling out. People are having incredible experiences. And for creators, it’s become a meaningful new income stream. When your audience is local, you don’t need millions of followers to make it work — just a few hundred people in one place and a reason to meet. You’re not pushing ads, not hawking merch. You’re creating belonging — and getting paid for it. It supports local restaurants, strengthens communities, and makes your brand tangible. 🌍 The movement begins Today we’re officially launching DNNR to the world. Five communities are already hosting monthly dinner clubs, and dozens more are lined up to announce. If you have an audience — even a small, local one — we’d love to help you build your own club. If you don’t, you can still be part of the movement through our affiliate program — earn 5% of first-year revenue from any dinner clubs you refer. We believe this is a step toward curing loneliness — not with another social event app, but with something truly social. Because belonging isn’t built online. It’s built at the table. DNNR — Send your audience to dinner and build belonging that pays 👉 Visit dnnr dot io to join our affiliate program or book a demo.

This is broken windows theory in action. Allow parks to be full of litter, fountains to sit dry, and monuments to be vandalized, and you'll continue to get more of the same. Clean the parks, fix the fountains, and restore the monuments to restore community pride and a public expectation that damage will not go unchecked.

We can have nice things! Clean up, clean up, everybody do your share 🧼

Very pleased to see support for expanding patient access to treatments which can drastically improve quality of life and even be life saving. For example Ozempic hormone was first discovered in the 80s and formulated in early 2000s, but it’s taken 20 years to get all the way through FDA. Some folks can’t wait 20 years! This is the right step for patient access (some people already fly to Honduras for these treatments so it’s effectively only for rich people). This is the right step for progress!

Anyone plugged into NYC finance tech scene? A good friend of mine and impressive fintech founder will be in NYC and curious to know where folks are hanging out these days

Proud to have testified on these bills. Proud NH is leading the way for expanding patient access. Proud of the founders creating innovative treatments that will unleash human health and potential. Grateful to the many people who contributed significant time, energy, expertise, and funding to make this happen.

UH OH JENNIFER! Tips for meeting new people: - Keep it well below your drinking limit. Alcohol may ease *your* social anxiety but it's no substitute for personality and has steep downsides when over done. - Never under any circumstances bring up politics, religion, or money unless that is the EXPRESS PURPOSE of the gathering. - no touching other people. - no touching other people's fries. - no yelling at adjacent tables, even if you think you’re being charming Dinner with strangers is magical when everyone remembers they are, in fact, in public. (We've sent 14k people out to dinner and this is only the second complaint we've had about someone)

Or you could launch a branded dinner club in your city and let @getdnnr do all the work
