In all the months of building Meetify and prepping the Coming Soon announcement, Dan and I wrestled with one persistent question.

Do you really need an easier way to schedule in person meetups?

We worked to get the answer and all signs were positive, but your recent responses to the announcement still surprised us. By surprised, I mean like when all your friends show up for the birthday party you didn’t know they planned for you, “Surprise!” Not like changing your son’s diaper at the exact worst moment, “Surprise!”

Here are just some of the responses we received from you

“AMAZING! I can't wait to use this to schedule weekly meet-ups!”

“Awesome! Can’t wait to integrate this into my Workday!”

“As someone who meets in person all over the city, this is a definite pain point…”

“What a fantastic idea. Can't tell you how many times this would have been useful!”

“I’m going to use this at least once a week.”

“Already have a gathering in mind!”

“Love it – just did this back and forth today.”

“I will totally use this, will make this process much easier!!”

“I could use this at work.”

“Love this…. Simplify my life! That is my mantra!”

“I would definitely use this…I’ve been wanting to get together with a group of friends all summer…. but I just never got around to suggesting a place to meet.” 

So, “Thank you!” You’ve encouraged us to work even harder to launch and to hurry up about it.

When can we use it? The next time you hear from us, we’ll have a launch date for you. We’d love to tell you it will be early October, but honestly, it will depend on how beta testing goes. In case you’re wondering, beta testing is the last stage before a product launch when a group of people get to try it out to see if it’s as easy to use as intended.

Can I be one of the first to try it out? We’d love that. If you’re someone who schedules multiple in person meetings every week, and they require you finding central locations and coordinating best times to meet, you’d be our ideal beta tester. We’ll give you the first 6 months of our Essentials subscription with no ads free as a thank you. Just sign up here and more info will be coming your way very soon. We do have a limited number of slots for beta testers, so sign up ASAP if you’re interested.

Will it have ads or will I pay a subscription fee? That’s up to you. We believe connecting face-to-face is so important, everyone should be able to schedule meetups for free. So, if you’re someone who needs it for personal use occasionally, you’re welcome to use it for free with ads on it. If you fall in love with Meetify and want yourself and those you invite to meetings to have the best experience, our Essentials plan will still feel like a steal! The paid plan will be ad free and include extra features and less limits. It’s perfect for those who schedule in person meetings a lot.

I love the name Meetify. How did you decide on it? We consulted some brilliant minds, aka “a group of friends,” who helped us make the decision. We wanted the input to reflect the type of people we think will use Meetify, so we chose a diverse group in terms of ages, genders, work experiences, ethnicities and understanding of tech. You can read all about our company naming process if you’re curious. There’s some interesting “behind the scenes” info on what it’s like to secure a domain name these days.

Will there be an app? Meetify will not be a downloadable app for the foreseeable future. We’ve built the software in a responsive website, meaning you’ll have a similar experience using it, whether you’re on a laptop, tablet or smartphone. It’ll automatically fit your screen on any of those devices and still have full functionality. This is good news for several reasons. You won’t need to download an app that requires updates constantly. Plus, you won’t have to worry about having to deal with the App Store if you ever need help with your subscription and billing. We can take care of you directly. Best of all, any features available in your account from one spot will be available anywhere else you’re logged into your account.

Will you be done building all the features when you launch? Great news! When we launch, you’ll be able to easily find central places to meet up with anyone and send invites with potential spots and times. Your invitees can choose the best option that works for them or suggest new options, and you’ll both receive the final details of the meeting that can be added right to your calendars. You’ll even be able to send invites by email, text or with a link. Everything you need, right? But wait, there’s more. We have a list of features that will make your meetings even easier than you can imagine right now. We’ll continue to add those after we launch!

There’s more to reveal soon, but for now, we’re going to get back to work! Thanks for continuing to share your excitement about Meetify with friends and colleagues. Seeing your posts and comments on social media keep us inspired, too!
