Clockout is a great concept and platform to leverage meeting liked minded individuals and connecting with professionals. It allows you to blend the professional and humanity in us. I love the ability to join and create clubs that enable further connectivity and belonging - through conversation and meetups. I believe there is an opportunity area is to leverage the platform to create more network effects and better engagement. Perhaps developing a channel within the app for sharing content to learn from, and/or creating a weekly podcast sessions that can allow connectivity, belonging and learning across varied topics. You can also create a process to preapprove or allow content sharing or highlights from meetups, to further drive more engagement and attendance. Developing more infrastructure will help increase membership and its value add, and perhaps create varied subscription opportunities based on willingness to pay models. Keep up the great work.

As a host on Clockout in DC, I’ve had an incredible experience bringing people together and making real connections in the city. Hosting through the app has been seamless—whether it’s casual happy hours or more structured events, I’ve met some amazing people from all different industries who I wouldn’t have connected with otherwise. Clockout makes it so easy to set up events and get the right crowd. The people who join are genuinely looking to network and make friends, not just collect business cards. It’s been a game-changer for building a solid community in DC, especially in a city where it can be hard to meet new people outside of work. Highly recommend for anyone looking to expand their social and professional circle!

On the 7-day free trial and currently not planning on subscribing for the $100/year because I’m more frustrated than impressed. It’s hard to stay motivated and get past the dozens of steps to set up an account, despite being really curious about its potential. It required so much data input to just see what the app even looks and feels like (sync contacts, invite three friends, turn on notifications and location tracking, etc) which already annoyed me because I didn’t even know if it was worth all that work yet. Spent first few days trying to change my profile info with no luck, then focused on browsing lots of really vague and unresponsive profiles that I’m not even sure are real people. If any of my connections did work out, I have not had access to messages the whole time due to a consistent error message that keeps popping up, so I don’t even know how to connect with them. Have my first event tomorrow and will make the call after that on if this is worth any more time than I’ve already given it.
