Lunch

Lunch Logo

Lunch is a social sharing network fueled by your curiosity. It’s a community where you create and discover genuinely useful information with people who share your interests. Lunch is based on the idea that you’ll have the most meaningful exchanges with people who get your sense of humor, taste in books, love of snowboarding or penchant for Pac-Man. Let’s talk about karaoke!

At Lunch, you can contribute facts and opinions about almost everything. Based on your contributions, Lunch connects you to a similarity network of people who share your opinions and ideas. Through them, you can discover a mystery novel you’ve never heard of, a great local animal hospital, or the best place to buy folding bikes. You get personalized content in the best way — through the right people.  Lunch filters out the noise to give you what’s most relevant to you and most useful to others. In turn, your feedback encourages other members to create better, more thoughtful content.

Lunch is a community of people who appreciate good conversation and respect. It’s a network that connects you to those who share your passion for understanding more in life.

Feed your curiosity. Lunch.

The plan is to stop at each of the 13 cities and have a meetup with karaoke, book signings, awesome conversations and a great deal of fun. We are working on getting every second of the trip livestreamed (from the cab and the karaoke stage) and totally interactive on the web as well as at our stops. We'll be tweeting, blogging, uploading photos and getting all sorts of press along the way.
