Most people still think is only « Wednesdays dinners ». That’s it. But this is not true anymore, we now run things every single day, Monday to Sunday !

Sunday is the newest one. We launched walks in Paris and London, and they worked better than we expected. If running isn’t your thing but you still want to get outside, meet people, and catch a bit of sun, this is for you.

So now we’re opening walks in 12 more cities:

🇦🇪 Dubai / 🇩🇪 Berlin + Munich / 🇹🇷 Istanbul / 🇵🇹 Lisbon / 🇳🇱 Amsterdam / 🇧🇪 Brussels / 🇵🇱 Warsaw / 🇨🇮 Dublin / 🇪🇸 Madrid + Barcelona / 🇫🇷 Paris + Lyon / 🇬🇧 London / And sooon many more.

If you’re in one of these, it’s the easiest, most casual way to meet people we’ve ever built. No pressure, no small-talk marathon. Just a walk.

Update the app and give it a try. 🍀

For two years, we made our users plan ahead. If you wanted a seat at a table, you had to book 48 hours out. Decide on Monday to have dinner on Wednesday. But loneliness doesn’t schedule itself two days in advance. It hits on a random Tuesday night, when the apartment is too quiet.

So we cut the window in half. We piloted it in 6 cities this summer. It worked. So we shipped it everywhere. From today, you can book up to 13 hours before an event, live in 135 cities.

Here’s the thing nobody says about product: the feature isn’t the point. The distance is. The distance between feeling alone and sitting at a table with five strangers. Every hour we shave off that window is an hour of loneliness we delete.

48 hours. Now 13. We’re not done. One day, wherever you are on the planet, you’ll press one button and have a place to be, and people already waiting for you, in under 60 minutes.

That’s the whole company in one sentence 🍀

Yesterday, we celebrated 6th anniversary. A big part of the Timeleft team was in Paris. I think I’m going to have to reinforce our pitch internally 😂

« We are Timeleft. We bring the world together IRL. » 🍀

You saw someone you like across the room. They smiled back. You still didn’t go over. That’s the whole reason we built this new feature !

When we send people to a restaurant, there are usually two or three of our tables in the room. So you spend three hours with five strangers, and a few metres away is another table of people who came for exactly the same reason you did. Same bar at the last drink.

We used to think this was a shyness problem. It isn’t. You’d already done the hard part: you booked a dinner with five people you’d never met, and you showed up. Nerve was never what was missing. What was missing was a reason to turn around.

« Timeleft Crossed Paths » is live today. Open the app, and on Home you’ll see people who were actually there. Same venue, different table. Look at their profile, send a request with a real message, and if they accept... you talk !

40 cities. London to Sydney to Mexico City.
You already showed up. Now the room does too. 🍀
