New in Taipei: Meet people you can actually see again—weekly
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.
Why Taipei can feel social—but still isolating
Taipei has people everywhere, cafés everywhere, and events every week. Yet your circle often stays the same:
- School/work networks become “closed loops”
- Social plans require initiating, coordinating, and chasing replies
- Dating apps push constant swiping but weak real-world momentum
- You want connection without turning your life into a scheduling job
The weekend brunch mechanism
- Weekends only
- 6 people, one table, ~2 hours
- Central Taipei restaurants (venue revealed ~1 day before)
- Before you meet: venue + one-line intro + job + zodiac + suggested icebreak topics
- After brunch: leave feedback and view whether others gave you compliments
AI matching: from random meetups to higher-quality tables
You provide profile + intent + languages + travel + after-brunch preference. Our matching improves:
- Conversation flow (less awkward starts, more shared context)
- Cross-circle discovery (new perspectives without “culture shock”)
- Post-brunch continuity (people who are open to meeting again)
No-show prevention and safety
- Front-camera face verification + human review
- Unverified users pay higher fees
- Risk tiers/blacklist for no-shows, multi-accounts, repeated negative feedback
- Seat fees reduce “maybe” behavior so tables actually happen
What to do after brunch (to make it compound)
- Within 24 hours, message 2 people you’d meet again
- Propose one small plan (coffee, walk, second brunch)
- Add them into a “Taipei circle” note with 1 line about what you talked about
- Repeat weekly for a month—your social surface area expands fast
Who this is for in Taipei
- You just moved to Taipei / changed circles
- Your social life is mostly colleagues or old friends
- You want deeper conversation than small talk
- You’re in a transition (new job, breakup, relocation, graduation)
- You want more serendipity: people, ideas, opportunities
