History
Launched on June 12, 2002, Meetup became an organizing tool for a variety of interests including hobbies, drinking, sports and gaming. Dating and most singles groups are prohibited.
Among the first users of Meetup were virtual communities such as BookCrossing, Slashdot, and LiveJournal. Currently, the average size of a gathering is 10, and the largest category of users are moms arranging field trips and playdates.
In November 2017, after years of declining usage, and lacking the funds necessary to compete against rising competition, Meetup was sold to WeWork for $30 million. Meetup's staff was reduced by 10% after the sale.
