Grouper is an online, invite-only social club that uses data gathered from Facebook profiles to organize group outings (called Groupers). Matches for the outings are gathered and analyzed first by a computer and then by a human to ensure strong matches. The excursions are planned in venues throughout 25 cities for six people. Groupers consist of two groups of three friends and can consist of three males and three females, six males, six females, or any other possible combination.
Michael Waxman founded the New York-based startup in 2011. The company is run by a staff of 25 people.
In 2013, Time Inc. listed Grouper in its 10 NYC Startups to Watch for 2013.
How a Grouper works
Grouper is an invite-only service that matches two individuals according to data found – with the permission of the user – on the user’s Facebook profile, including age, career, education, etc. The company determines a match between two individuals using both algorithms and its member experience team. A time is then set for the "Grouper". The two parties are asked to each bring two friends.No names, photos, or information are disclosed before the actual meet. Upon arrival at the determined location, the group receives a complimentary first round of drinks, including tax and tip, at a reserved table (the cost is included in Grouper’s service fee).
Grouper is the solo project of musician and artist Liz Harris. After releasing material independently beginning in 2005, Harris released the critically acclaimed Dragging a Dead Deer Up a Hill (2008), followed by four more records, including a two-part concept album, A I A. Her tenth studio album, Ruins, was released on October 31, 2014.
Harris was born in Northern California and grew up around the San Francisco Bay area and in Oregon.
Harris’ first album was 2005’s Grouper, a self-released full-length CD-R, followed later that year by Way Their Crept on Free Porcupine (re-released in 2007 on Type Records). In 2006 she released a single (He Knows), one album, called Wide, and a collaboration with Xiu Xiu entitled Creepshow. Harris made available new material steadily through the years, and continued to collaborate with various artists such as Roy Montgomery and Xela.
Don't be the slave Don't let your weakness show To build a mountain takes a long, long time Use what you've learned like a catapult And load the cannon when you need to fire I know the way you feel It's time to take the step Don't walk away Don't let your weakness show It's such a journey to the promised land When you arrive learn to take control
