# Real-world meetup coordinators

> Tools for organizing in-person meetups, events, gatherings.

**Sector**: [Social & Community](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/niche-down/social-community)  
**Build cost**: Month-long build  
**Deal velocity**: Trickle — one deal per quarter

## Why now

Real-world community is back. Meetup.com is aging. The next wave is unbuilt.

## What the signal looks like

Repos with calendar libraries, RSVP + payment tools, and venue-finder integrations.

## Public examples

*Public projects + categories only — we never name founders tracked inside the paid product.*

- Luma shape
- Partiful
- Open-source meetup libraries

## What this displaces

Meetup.com + low attendance.

## Our build-vs-invest call

Vertical wedge. The moat is the workflow + the discoverability + the safety.
