FAQ
Reasonable questions. Honest answers.
- What's the difference between the formats?
- There are three. Pitch A Pal: you pitch a friend in three honest minutes — they're brought to the room by your recommendation. Pitch Your Future Friend: you share your own deck — a small, honest pitch for the kind of people you're looking to find. Both: a hybrid evening where some people pitch friends, others share their own decks, and a few do both. The format chip on each event page tells you which one you're walking into.
- Can I just share a Future Friend deck without pitching anyone?
- Yes. On Future Friend and Both events, you can come without a nominee — your own deck does the introducing for you. No live performance required. You can also publish your deck to the Wanted Wall so it lives beyond a single evening.
- What's a Both (hybrid) event?
- A room where two kinds of pitches sit side by side — pitches for friends you're bringing, and Future Friend decks from people looking for new connections. You choose how you want to participate when you register, and you can change your mind up to a week before.
- Is this a dating event?
- No, and also: not exactly not. People come for friendship, conversation, professional kinship, the occasional spark. We don't optimize for romance, but we don't forbid chemistry either.
- Is this networking?
- Also no. There are no name tags announcing job titles. Pitches are about the person, not the LinkedIn page.
- Do I have to pitch someone?
- Every attendee either pitches someone, is being pitched, or both. No lurkers. It's the deal.
- What if I'm shy?
- Many of our favourite people are. The room is structured so you can be quiet and still part of it — pitches do a lot of the introduction work for you.
- Can I bring a plus-one?
- Not exactly — but you can pitch them. If approved, they join as a recommended attendee. That's better than a +1.
- What does it cost?
- Around €24.50, framed as a contribution toward the evening. Hosts and core inviters come as our guests.
- What if I have to cancel?
- Tell us as soon as you can. We'll release your seat to someone on the list. Be kind to the room.
- Is this safe?
- We moderate. We have a Code of Conduct. Contact details are never shared automatically. Consent isn't a footnote — it's the format.
