Meetball flips networking on it’s head. Instead of chasing people who can help, the help comes to you.
Chosen by communities
Hundreds of people work nights and weekends to make this startup real. Why? Shared belief in the mission.

"Struggling to meet people at Web Summit. Can anyone help me build a solution?"
We're back where it all began, no longer strangers with an idea, but launching Meetball, the app that turns "Can you help?" into real human connections.
We're launching Meetball at Web Summit and we want to partner witha select group of community builders who foster genuine connections and value meaningful relationships.
We're proving there's a better way to build companies and places of work that are a source of meaning.
“Meetball is the craziest form of startup-ing that should actually be the norm.”

What is Meetball? Meetball helps you discover what people around you are looking for, then connect by offering help or finding others who share the same challenge. See someone's question, respond with "I Can Help!" or "Me Too!", and turn strangers into meaningful connections. When you meet in person, Meetball helps you remember everyone - no matter where you met them. One app that works everywhere you meet people.
November 2024, Web Summit. Stuart felt lost in a crowd of 100,000 people and posted online: "Anyone else feel this way? Want to help build a solution?" Within 24 hours, 100 complete strangers from around the world said "I Can Help!" and built a working app. The next day, investors offered $1 million. We said no, we had to prove something first: could strangers build a real company together? Almost a year later, those strangers are still here. Now we're launching at Web Summit 2025, right where it all began.
Make meaningful connection effortless, both in how people meet and how companies are built. We're proving that strangers can build amazing products when united by mission, that asking for help is a superpower, and that the future of work is about finding meaning in what you build. We're not just building an app. We're building a new playbook for human collaboration.
Because the best things happen when people come together. Also, it's weird enough that you'll remember.
(No, we're not a food app. Though connections do feed the soul.)
Stuart Cerne, serial founder, building this startup the way he always dreamed: by inviting anyone who can help to join. He said "I want to build this," and 140+ people from around the world answered, from Lisbon to every continent. The core team emerged from those who kept showing up. Stuart steers the ship, but he built it so anyone aligned with the vision can contribute and share in what we create. 140+ people and growing. We're just getting started.
Most apps are about performing. Meetball is about helping. You discover what people need, then connect by offering support or finding others who share the same challenge. No likes, no followers, just meaningful connection. One network across all events, never lose connections in single-event apps again. And we're built by the community, for the community.
Open the app and see what people around you are looking for. Respond with "I Can Help!" to offer support, or "Me Too!" to connect over shared challenges. You can post your own questions too. When you meet someone, tap "We Met" to remember them forever.
Check into an Event, or browse public posts around you. See someone you can help? Jump in. Got a question yourself? Post it. The best way to learn is to start helping or asking.

Meetball is a Startup anyone can join. Anyone who believes can contribute and share in what we build.
