METRICS
The honest posture.
Our north-star metric is week-four weekly-table retention, the share of members still sitting at their recurring table a month in, which a one-off-meetup product cannot produce. We publish real cohort numbers as the first Melbourne founding tables complete their six weeks. We do not publish projected, inflated or vanity figures.
- Waitlist signups (per city)
- Founding members seated (per city)
- Six-week tables formed
- Week-four weekly-table retention
- Members reporting at least one new friend they would see again
- Safety incidents per 100 seats
BOILERPLATE
Use this, verbatim.
Hey Sini is a weekly social club for making real friends as an adult. Instead of another feed to swipe or a one-off night, it matches you once into a table of five nearby and brings the same five back every week for six weeks, so acquaintances have time to become friends. It is friendship-first, not a dating app. Built in Melbourne, now forming founding tables in Melbourne and Jakarta, with a New Zealand waitlist opening in Auckland.
