About John
Bio
I’m the founder of MeetingWave.com which is a patented online tool for networking off-line for business or social purposes. We allow you to arrange meetings with the people you’d like to meet – anytime, anyplace- whether traveling or near home or work.
You can make new contacts by:
(1) Posting a Public Invite describing the purpose of the proposed meeting or the type of people you’d like to meet.
(2) You’ll be notified by email when someone accepts your Public Invite.
(3) You can then approve or decline any acceptance for any reason – it’s entirely up to you. The other person will be notified of your decision. If you approve, the meeting is confirmed. Thus, you control who attends your meeting.
You can choose to keep your meeting location private and we’ll disclose only to those you approve to attend your meeting. You can also communicate with other users via double-blind email to facilitate meeting planning. We provide you with a lot of flexibility in arranging your meetings.
So, are you an entrepreneur looking to build a team? Are you an attorney striving to become a rainmaker or a sales manager trying to meet your numbers? Are you looking for a job? Or, are you just interested in meeting people and making new friends?
Try posting an invite for coffee, lunch, dinner, drinks, whatever you like. It’s free!
We’re in beta, have many improvements in the pipeline and welcome any feedback. Thanks.

Hi Bambi - Constant Contacts recently launched "events" functionality targeting their business users to help them promote their business events. Likely a slight overlap with eventbrite, but unclear. I agree Meetup is different as its mostly focused on organizing groups and does a great job at it (Dean almost won the primary if it wasn't for the media-spun "Dean Scream") and I think trademarked "meetup". I'm also unfamilar with eventful. I believe they are focused on paid venue events, but appear to be on a tear traffic wise. Despite that, I'm pretty bullish on eventbrite. Not mentioned in the video is they were bootstrapped (with perhaps a angel round) prior to their funding. With $6.5 million in new funding, they should hold their own well. Best of luck to them.

Great interview. Eventbrite has a great user interface and business model. How do they compare to eventful, meetup, and Constant Contacts new events? Different model, different focus or overlapping?
