A personal mission by Andrew Winton

Life happens
together.

I want to help 100 million people get together in real life. Through things I build, experiences I create, and the people I meet along the way.

The big goal

IN-PERSON ATTENDANCES
The count so far

First verified total pending

Real gatherings. Real people.
Every return visit counts, too.

How the count works

The goal is set. The counting rule is set. The starting total is being verified.

01 / The work

A few ways to
bring people together.

Some are businesses. Some are games.
All start with making it easier to spend time with people.

01MetwellKeep up with the people who matter.Connection

A private people graph for remembering connections and reaching out at the right time. Formerly called Network.

Attendance contribution: not yet reported.

02ManhuntPut the phone to work. Get outside.Play

A real-world game of hunters and runners, played with a group of friends and their phones.

Attendance contribution: not yet reported.

03FairmileMake the trip with a driver you know.Travel

Rider and driver apps for booking airport and out-of-town trips with familiar drivers.

A ride is not automatically a qualifying gathering. Attendance contribution: not yet reported.

04ShowdownA place to play and spend time together.Gather

My work helping build and grow Showdown is one way I am working toward this mission.

Attendance contribution: not yet reported.

Projects are part of the journey. Being listed here does not add to the attendance count.

The reason behind it

Some of the best people
in your life are people
you haven't met yet.

I want to create more chances for that to happen. A game night, a shared trip, a conversation that goes somewhere unexpected. I can create the opportunity. What happens between people is theirs.

02 / Field notes

A record along the way.

The ideas, decisions, and small steps
behind a very big number.

03 / Keeping an honest count

What does one count mean?

One person attending one qualifying in-person gathering. If they come back another time, that is another attendance. This is a measure of participation, not unique people or friendships created.

What gets added?

Documented attendance at gatherings I create or help make happen. Each entry needs a date, a project, a participant count, and evidence. The qualifying scope and attribution still need to be settled before the first total is published.

What stays out?

Followers, views, downloads, invitations, and RSVPs. None of those alone establish that someone actually attended. Projects do not contribute a number just because they exist.

Where is the record?

No verified attendance entries have been published yet.
