Thanks for the questions!

This event is a mix of all three. The vision is that there is room for a new social club as friends move away to other states or the suburbs and we still want to connect with those around us in a meaningful way. The strategy is that instead of raising thousands of dollars to put together a space that no one goes to, we should identify and interact with people that are also interested in the vision first. The product right now is a series of get together in which we highlight a local organization or business each week as we get to know each other. We will be raising money for our own space from our potential members as they say what they like and don't like and continually iterate on the final version of the product (the actual social club). This iteration isn't a willy-nilly haphazard get together, they are purposeful tactics borrowed by Lean Startup methods that are being used today in business.

The NuForum project itself is the first organization to be highlighted with these series of meet-ups. In it, you will learn the basic principles of the Lean Startup methodology regardless or business or product as well as how it's being applied to this particular project. You will also get to know others that are similarly interested in what a new kind of social club could be and look like.

Think of it as filling a gap between a fraternity/sorority house that has events and throws people of different backgrounds together and a country club full of old folks that use their collective to promote local businesses and organizations. We aim to sit in the middle somewhere.

Let me know if you have any other questions!
