Clubs & Interest Group Formation

We're exploring bottom-up club and interest-group formation for large communities. If your members keep asking for subgroups, tell us how you handle it.

EventIntro's matching engine powers event and cohort networking today. We're exploring bottom-up interest-group formation as a next step — if this is your problem, tell us about it below and help shape what we build.

Who this is for

Large communities whose members want smaller clubs and interest groups.
Operators fielding constant "is there a group for X?" requests.
Teams that want subgroups to form organically, not by manual decree.

The subgroup request every big community gets

Grow a community past a few hundred people and the same message starts arriving: "is there a group for parents / runners / people doing X?" Admins field these one at a time and guess which clubs to spin up. EventIntro already groups people by interest; the unbuilt, interesting part is doing it bottom-up — surfacing the subgroups a community wants before anyone has to ask.

What "bottom-up" would take

Top-down, an admin decrees a list of clubs and hopes people join. Bottom-up, the system notices that forty members quietly share an interest nobody named and proposes a group around it. Detecting those latent clusters across a large membership — and knowing which are worth forming — is the hard problem we're weighing.

Shape it with us

If you run a large community, tell us how members ask for subgroups today and how you decide what to create. Demand here is what would turn this from exploration into a build; early respondents get first access if we ship.

Frequently asked questions

Does EventIntro form interest groups today?

It matches and groups people by their goals and interests, which is the raw material for interest-group formation. The bottom-up version — surfacing latent shared interests across a big community and spinning up clubs around them — is what we're exploring, not a current feature.

What does 'bottom-up' mean here?

Instead of an admin guessing which clubs to create, the system notices that forty members share an interest nobody named and proposes a group. Detecting those latent clusters at scale is the interesting, unbuilt part.

How can I shape it?

Tell us how members ask for subgroups today and how you respond. Early input decides whether and how we build this.

Thanks — we've got it.
We read every one of these. We'll be in touch at the address you gave us.
