Dining With Strangers: A Startup Takes Social Networking out to Dinner
If you’re new to town, it may be hard to find the right crowd to get dinner with, or the right friend to organize a meal and invite you. Enter Grubwithus, a new web platform for people eager to socialize around a delicious meal with a self-selecting group of people.
The project launched as a company in the summer of 2010. Now it operates nationally and recently closed its Series A round of funding for $5 million.
Neat idea. I signed up.
