Discovery

No plans? See who's outside.

Ordinary people opening up something they're already doing — dinner, a class, a museum, a coffee walk. Not giant events. Not professional production.

Hosting

Already going? Bring people with you.

You don't need to become an event organizer. If you're already doing something, open it up to a few people. Pick the place, time and number of spots. We'll help people find you.

Profiles

Your life becomes your profile.

Met Outside profiles aren't about follower counts. They show what you actually do: the gatherings you join, the ones you host, and the photos from nights and afternoons that really happened. Social identity comes from participation, not popularity.

The gathering

Every gathering gets its own space.

Before, during, and after, the group has a place to say yes, maybe, chat, and share photos. A small temporary community around something that was already happening.

How it works

Someone is going anyway. You can go too.

1

Find something

Browse small gatherings happening around you — dinner, a class, a museum stop.

2

Show up

Choose Yes or Maybe, meet the group and enjoy the experience.

3

Stay connected

Share photos, build your profile and meet people through real life instead of follower counts.

Going somewhere anyway? Create a gathering and bring a few people along.

Safety

Outside should still feel considered.

Meeting new people IRL should still feel thoughtful. Met Outside is 18+, gatherings are meant for public places, and we'll build reporting, blocking, and community standards in from the start — quietly present, not the whole story.

18+ from the start

Met Outside is for adults. The waitlist and the product are both 18+.

Public places first

Gatherings are meant for public places — restaurants, studios, museums, cafes, parks, classes.

Community standards

We'll set clear expectations for how people show up for each other in real life and in the product.

Reporting and blocking

Reporting and blocking will be built in from the start, so you can look out for yourself and each other.

Your next social life might be one Yes away.

We're starting in NY, NJ, CT and PA. Join the beta and be one of the first people to Met Outside.
