A room,
before
a swipe.
An event-first social membership for adults who’d rather meet across a long table than across a chat thread. One city at a time. One evening at a time.
Dating apps taught us to swipe before we sit. Event apps taught us to RSVP and not know a soul in the room.
Neither of those is how a city is actually made. A city is made at a long table on a Thursday, on a Saturday run at seven, at the bar after the show.
We built Lineup for the part that got skipped — the evening itself.
A small, precise set of instructions for ending up in a good room.
Everything the night needs. Nothing it doesn’t.
The host is named.
Not a platform. A person. Members know who set the table before they choose to sit.
The room is real.
A specific restaurant, a specific hour, a specific shape — solo, pair, or group. We do not schedule vibes.
The roster is visible.
First names, intentions, verified status. Enough to walk in without small talk — not enough to pre-judge the night.
The quiet infrastructure that keeps a room worth walking into.
We publish these in plain language because the product is, in the end, the people in the room. We don’t grow past what we can keep honest.
— House rules, revised quarterlyWe open one room, then the next. In that order.
Adults aren’t making friends by accident anymore.
It takes real time together to turn strangers into actual friends. A University of Kansas study found adults need around 90 hours of shared time to move from acquaintance to friend, and 200+ hours to become close. That’s hard to find when life gets fragmented, work goes remote, and your weekends keep disappearing.

01 · The difference
Not swiping. Showing up.
No profiles to judge. No pictures to filter. You get placed at a real table, at a real event, with people who’ve been verified and showed up for the same reason you did. You learn more from one shared dinner than from two weeks of polished texting.
- See how people act in a real room
- No more forcing a connection with a stranger over text
- Leave with a better night either way

02 · The product
Not random. Curated.
Every event is picked or built by us. Every member is identity-verified. You’re not walking into a public Meetup with eighty strangers — you’re walking into a dinner for six, a bowling league of regulars, a comedy table you leave together.
03 · For singles, if you want it
Why roll the dice on a blind date?
Why spend weeks messaging someone just to learn in the first ten minutes that they oversold the profile? Lineup gives you a better option: double dates, group dinners, and shared nights where the event is already good, whether romance happens or not.
After the event
What a night actually looks like
Here’s the kind of thing members get when Austin is live. Real venues, real events, real people.
Sushi table for six
Thursday · 7:00 PM · South Congress, Austin
One table. Cleared members. Dinner that turns into a night out, not a speed-round of small talk.
Trusted host · 2 seats open
Comedy + dinner
Saturday · 6:30 PM · East Austin
Dinner first, show after. Your table comes with you. No venue-hopping, no ‘where did everyone go.’
Pairs or group · 4 of 6 filled
Bowling + trivia league
Tuesdays · 7:00 PM · North Loop
Real crews that form over weeks. Show up once because it sounds fun. Come back because it is.
Weekly · 12 regulars
What members get when they’re in.
Curated nights, checked members, private feedback, and a platform designed to get people out of the scroll and into the room.
CURATED EVENTS
Dinners, shows, leagues, and members-only formats
Every night is picked or built with intention, from dinner tables to recurring formats that make it easier to come back.
PRIVATE TRUST
Identity checks and private ratings protect the room
Good members stay protected, bad actors get filtered out, and nobody has to perform for a public score.
NO ADS. NO RESALE.
A platform that works for members, not advertisers
No ad feed, no selling your data, no pretending the product is free while monetizing your attention.
