The third space problem, actually solved

I’m 38 in Chicago, watching my social circle shrink as people got busy. Meetups were too task-oriented - you play chess, then what?

Groucho is different. After onboarding, I matched with a group. We’ve met twice now, and hours fly by. The scaffolded questions handle the awkwardness, and because it’s opt-in, not a swipe-fest, people are actually listening.

The execution works. Worth every dollar.

Oddly Gratifying

I found the intake interview oddly gratifying. I’m looking forward to getting my club!
