Pros

This company was founded during the aftermath of 9/11 in NYC. There was a need to create a platform to help people get together over shared interests. Meetup created that space. The company operated in the same way. As a community of people all passionate about creating communities and enabling the world to do so as well.

Cons

Might have lost their way seeking profit over mission?
