1% IRL is a pre-event social-connection app for people who want fewer introductions, but better ones.
Built for curated dinners, members-only nights, founder gatherings, and the kind of events where the room matters as much as the agenda. You register, get cleared from the waitlist, and walk into the venue already knowing who's worth a second drink.
THE ROOM BEFORE THE ROOM
Once you're cleared for an event, you see the other cleared attendees. Read their bios, their vibes, the things they're into. Send a Signal — a low-pressure intro — to anyone you'd actually like to meet. They accept. You arrive at the venue with a handful of people already expecting you.
LOCK-IN: PROOF OF MEETING
When you and another attendee actually meet at the event, you both enter each other's 4-digit PIN to "Lock In" the connection. It's a small ritual that confirms a real-world introduction happened — and earns you IRL Keys you can redeem at future events.
WHY IT'S DIFFERENT
You don't browse strangers in your area. You connect with people already confirmed for the same event.
You don't pay to slide into someone's DMs. You pay (with attention, time, and a Lock-In) to be in the room.
You don't accumulate matches. You accumulate real introductions.

WHO IT'S FOR
Founders, operators, creatives, and anyone tired of meeting "online" before
meeting in person. If you've ever shown up to an event not knowing who else
would be there — and wished you could fix that 24 hours before the door
opened — 1% IRL is the app.
Membership is invite-led. We grow by attendance, not by acquisition.
