Contrats to Jonas and Roland!

Contrats to the great coverage in 20min!

MemberYou seems to have found his niche: Organizing professional (poker) events – not online, but offline in the real world! The last poker event was the biggest event that was ever organized in the Basel area outside of the Grand Casino Basel (according to 20min). I think that’s great and Jonas & Roland should follow this path (since it’s rather difficult those days to be just another social network). You should organize more & bigger events, make people happy, charge money and get great coverage in the press like this time. And use the online platform to make the organization of events efficient and to have a community for all the participants of all the real-world events.

This was no coincidence. Organizing events is a passion of those guys, especially Jonas. Recently he relaunched his pesonal event-tools network eventsuche.ch (which helps you get a location, catering, entertainment and equipment). These are great services and you should definitely think of Jonas when you’re organizing your next event in Switzerland.

Keep pushing guys, you’re on your way!

memberYou already has 1000 members!

My friends at memberYou (see my first coverage) already have 1000 members – 48 days after the launch. Congratulations!

Last week I had lunch with co-founder Jonas Zeier.

My learnings from the lunch:
# The great majority of all members comes from Basel. That means that the regional strategy is very important for this leisure community
# Very soon, they will organize a soccer event with Marco Streller (Swiss national soccer team member) – this means that you can actually play soccer with Marco Streller. Isn’t that cool?
# Monetization of the platform will be tricky. The first goal is to attract as many members as possible
# It will be tricky to go from regional to national and from national to international. You need evangelists in every region. First goal has to be to build a strong home base in Basel

My friends Jonas and Roland launched their baby last tuesday with a big launch party with 150 people.

memberyou lets you manage your leisure time. You can find friends with the same hobby, join groups and plan and attend events together. Cool stuff about memberyou:

#1: memberyou was among the top 38 of SF Start-up
#2: They launched will full functionality (they developed the platform in the last 6 months)
#3: There are already more than 250 members (mostly from Basel)
#4: The team is great. I am convinced that Jonas and Roland are able to push this community to success.
#5: They launched with a remarkable launch-party with over 150 participants. The highlight was a live-conference call with soccer star Marco Streller (who is also a memberyou-member by the way)

Good luck!
