Gist IRL

Welcome to Gist, the platform designed to replace awkward first approaches with genuine, topic-driven conversations. We engineer serendipity by connecting you with people who share your specific passions, from hiking and productivity hacks to sci-fi films and longevity.

Gist intelligently structures in-person events into a series of timed, one-on-one conversations. You'll always know who you're meeting next and the specific interest you both share, eliminating social anxiety and making every interaction count.


CONNECT WITH YOUR TRIBE

No More Awkwardness: Our "speed meeting" format gives you a clear schedule of who to talk to and the shared topic, solving the "who do I talk to next?" dilemma.

Find Your Niche: Join events curated around specific interests like "Health & Longevity," "Hiking & Outdoors," or "TV Shows & Movies." You're guaranteed to meet people who get it.

Focus on Connection: With gentle timers guiding the flow, you can immerse yourself in quality conversations, not worry about how to politely disengage.

Build Lasting Relationships: The "Connection Hub" will help you remember who you met, jot down notes, and follow up effectively.


Gist is built on the belief that the best technology is born from a thoughtful fusion of innovation and the humanities. We are bringing people back together in the real world through intentional, structured, and curated social experiences. Whether you’re joining a niche event or reconnecting with someone you met last week, Gist helps turn fleeting moments into lasting friendships, communities, or collaborations.
