I appreciate this suggestion!

Good point about Meetup being purchased by WeWork. Doesn't seem that there's much innovation going on there rn...

We've asked our members why they join us and not Meetup or Facebook groups or other things that are out there. We hear two main answers: 1) there is a lot more trust/safety from this being a group just for women of this age, 2) Revel feels like more of a community, whereas on Meetup so much of the organizational burden falls on the group's one host.

Thank you! We hope to reach Italy someday :)

Thank you!

Thanks!

We definitely believe that all of our members are more than competent. Apologies if the tone of our pitch suggested otherwise! We're also aware that the mere fact that someone is a woman over 50 does not make her automatically someone who's interested in Revel. The demographic is a huge and heterogeneous group and Revel serves a need for some who are craving the company of their age group of women.

Will definitely contact Jeff Johnson -- thank you for the tip!

Amazing, thank you!

Thank you so much for this feedback. It's really helpful for us to know. If there are other easy things we could do to boost accessibility, please lmk.

I really appreciate that feedback. If there are other changes we could make to boost accessibility, please let me know.

Thanks for sharing it with her, and I'd love to know what she thinks

Great idea. We honestly hadn't thought of that, but would make a ton of sense down the road. Thank you for your support.

It's hard to answer why 50 and why women as separate questions because it's really the confluence of age and gender that makes our problem statement unique. We did a lot of user research with women of this age. We heard a consistent story: as she ages, she feels more and more invisible to society. Women with grey hair become less powerful; men tend to become more so. At the same time, though, she herself is feeling stronger and more comfortable in her own skin and "gives less f" than she ever has before. And so our goal in building Revel is to build a space where we can celebrate the power and strength that comes from being a woman of this age.

Thank you!

Ha, we agree wholeheartedly. Thank you for sharing with your mom -- hoping she finds it intriguing, too!
