Freelancers & creators: Build a social pipeline that also grows your career
The Weekend Club is an app-powered offline social experience (a best alternative to dating apps). We use AI to match 6 people into one table for a ~2-hour weekend brunch in city restaurants, so you can meet new friends, ideas, and collaboration opportunities—without endless DMs or awkward inviting.
The freelance reality: no coworkers, fewer introductions
When you work independently:
- Your “weak ties” shrink
- Referrals become rare
- Motivation drops without community
- Dating and social life blur into the same loneliness
Weekend brunch as a relationship pipeline
One table gives you:
- New perspectives
- Potential clients/referrers
- Creative collaborators
- Real people who can vouch for you
AI matching and after-brunch preferences
Matching uses your intent and after-brunch preferences to increase:
- Natural follow-ups
- Compatibility in communication style
- Cross-industry discovery
Reliability systems
Seat fee + verification + blacklist/risk tiers reduce flakiness and protect the experience.
After brunch: creator/freelancer action plan
- Offer one concrete value: a review, intro, idea, resource
- Ask for one small thing: feedback, referral, test, share
- Book one follow-up within 14 days
- Keep showing up weekly—relationships compound
