Finding interesting people has never been easier. You can search LinkedIn, browse profiles, or ask AI to help you find almost anyone.

Actually meeting them is still hard.

LunchME is an AI agent that helps turn who you want to meet into a real coffee or lunch conversation. Tell it what you're looking for, discover relevant people, send an invitation, and move from online networking to an actual meeting.

Tell LunchME who you want to meet

You don't need to know the exact person.

You might want to meet someone working in product design, learn about consulting, talk to a founder, meet people in finance, or connect with someone at a company you're interested in.

Tell your LunchME agent what you're looking for, and it can help find people who may be relevant. If you already know who you want to meet, you can invite them directly too.

Instead of starting with endless profiles, LunchME starts with your intent.

Send a coffee or lunch invitation

Once you find someone you'd like to meet, you can send them an invitation. Some invitations are free, while others include an amount toward coffee or lunch.

That amount isn't meant to put a price on someone's time.

It's closer to saying “Coffee is on me — thanks for taking the time to meet.”

Someone may be sharing their experience, career story, advice, or simply an hour of their day with you. Including coffee or lunch is a small gesture of appreciation for that time and generosity.

It can also show that you're serious about meeting, but the bigger idea is gratitude: you're inviting someone out, and you're offering to treat them.

If they accept, the invitation amount goes into their LunchME wallet, where it can be used toward future invitations or withdrawn when eligible.

Why would someone accept?

People meet for lots of different reasons.

Someone might enjoy helping people earlier in their career. They might be curious about what you're building, interested in meeting others in their industry, or simply open to a good conversation.

A hiring manager may not have an open role today, but that doesn't mean the conversation has no value. A founder might not need what you're offering right now. Someone you meet for advice could later become a collaborator, mentor, customer, friend, or the person who thinks of you when an opportunity appears.

Not every useful relationship begins with an immediate transaction.

How is LunchME different from LinkedIn?

LinkedIn is great at helping you discover people. The difficult part is usually what happens next.

You find someone interesting, send a connection request or cold message, and hope they respond. AI can now help write that message too, but the end result is still another message sitting in someone's inbox.

LunchME is built around a different outcome.

Intent → invitation → real meeting.

It doesn't need to replace LinkedIn. You might discover someone there and meet them through LunchME.

The goal is simply to close the gap between “I want to meet this person” and actually sitting down together.

Isn't including money in an invitation weird?

It might sound unusual at first, but treating someone to coffee or lunch has always been a normal part of meeting people.

If you invited someone by saying, “I'd love to hear about your experience — coffee is on me,” most people wouldn't think you're buying their time.

You're showing appreciation.

LunchME brings that same gesture online and makes it easier to coordinate. And if you prefer, invitations can also be free.

What happens after you meet?

If you had a great conversation, you can send a thank-you note afterward. A small follow-up can go a long way: thank them for their time, mention something you learned, or simply let them know you enjoyed meeting them.

Good networking shouldn't end the second lunch is over. The goal is to make it easier for real relationships to continue naturally.

And not every meeting will be a great one. If something feels wrong or someone behaves inappropriately, LunchME also has a feedback loop where you can leave feedback, report a user, or block them.

Those signals help us make future introductions and experiences better.

Networking shouldn't end at the message

We already have plenty of tools for finding people. AI can search for them, summarize their background, and write the perfect introduction.

But it still doesn't mean you'll ever meet.

LunchME is built for that last mile: helping turn “I'd like to talk to someone like this” into a real conversation over coffee or lunch.

Tell your LunchME agent who you want to meet.

Then go meet them.
