Working at home can be lonely and isolating these days.
Meet smart like-minded relevant people over a virtual lunch and grow.
It's like a chat-roulette, but with verified people to grow your network and make meaningful connections over lunch.

Hey PH! 👋 Are you feeling like you're by yourself alone these days? Especially if you're isolated at home... I know how you feel. ***But first, I gotta give a shoutout to @robjama for hunting Lunch Together! 🙌 I'm Najeeb and I'm excited to share my latest project with you all! I know it's a difficult time to be a founder right now. It seems like everywhere we turn it's panic and anxiety causing news. If you're running a business, it's even more difficult. Only other founders can relate. It's it can really busy for a lot, lunch is the only downtime and since we can't get out of the house to meet like-minded people who are our neighbors, I created Lunch Together 🎉 Chat-roulette but for lunch and with verified people! We need the power of community now more than ever. It's something that makes you feel that you're never truly alone. Let's be alone together! I'd love to know how to make it much better, any tips?

It's kinda like Lunch Club! I'm a fan of Lunch Club. This looks very promising.

Love the idea but was disappointed to see that vetting ensures members are “leaders in their field” as I feel this would certainly exclude many potential participants capable of making valuable contributions to a roundrable discussion and virtual co-working groups

@jillbarletti Duly noted Jill, we're more open to others as well :)

@itsnajeeb Super - Glad to heat it’s more welcoming than appeared at first glance as I think it sounds like a sorely needed solution for so many

What a great idea!

This is the kind of product we need given the changing times and remote nature of work increasing. Humans are social creatures and we need to satisfy that part of us. Great idea!

Hey Najeeb! This is super. I'm a community lead for Wefunder and we're always figuring out ways to make founders feel a part of something big. I encourage you to apply to wefunder.com/virus. We're funding $50K in companies fighting against the coronavirus :) and this would be super useful for a lot of founders feeling stuck at home. Thanks for making this!

Great idea, well timed too! Left some ideas on your landing page about social proof and describing the service offering here - https://app.usebubbles.com/40d7b... -- best of luck :)
