I've had about 10 meetings on there! You can tailor the type of people you meet. I've met people all across the Ad/marketing space. Great networking tool. Only one meeting was kind of awkward but everyone else was really cool

Signed up but haven’t taken a meeting. Have you?
I joined and took a couple meetings. It seems like it’s mostly people trying to find jobs or new biz leads.

I quit doing it after two. Both my matches were people asking me about portfolio school, which coincidentally is not my favorite topic. Also, I was busy with work.
I’ve taken like 60-70 meetings.
It’s been great, but you’ve got to be into networking. It’s a fantastic way to build your network for future returns. Payoff is not short-term, although others have told me that got work and clients from it.
I saw someone post that they’ve encountered mostly biz dev and folks looking for work. All I say to that is don’t be short-sighted. Those folks without jobs will eventually have jobs and may be your path into your next opportunity.
Same with biz dev. Maybe they can connect you with someone from their network, maybe they will be in a future position to help you more directly, and maybe they will need someone with your skills to help them with a project, where you can lean into your freelance side hustle.
It’s always a great way to build community during a time when community is needed more than ever.
