From the lunch table to the virtual world
First, Lunchpool was a connection app that helped people meet up in real life. Then, we pivoted to being a connection virtual platform. Now, we are going back to our roots as a connection IRL platform. We're calling it "New Year, New Lunchpool."
As technology continues to advance and humans continue to form relationships over the internet, connection has become an increasingly challenging concept - an abstract idea that is hard to pin down or concretely define. In 2022, connection will continue to be our primary focus. We are building towards fulfilling the world's hunger for connection by making it easier for people to connect. Our objective is making connection more accessible for everyone. And what better way is there of doing this than by bringing Lunchpool back to its roots?
What can you expect from Lunchpool in 2022?
Well, first and foremost, Lunchpool will be a connection IRL platform that helps people meet up in person. We will be focusing on building community and strengthening relationships by providing users with the opportunity to connect face-to-face. This means that you will be able to use Lunchpool to find friends, classmates, co-workers, and more in your area - all without having to rely on the internet.
Secondly, we will also be expanding our virtual offerings. While connection IRL is our primary focus, connection virtual will always be an important part of what we do.
People first, with technology to support
As connection IRL becomes more and more critical to human connection, it's important that people have technology that supports them in this journey. Therefore, one of the things that you can expect over the next few years is for us to continue improving our connectivity app so that it works seamlessly with Lunchpool's connection IRL platform - making your connection experience as frictionless as possible.
Lastly, we are building towards fulfilling the world's hunger for connection by providing new platforms for connection experiences.
Life-changing connections, easier than ever
We believe that connection should be accessible to everyone at all times… whether they're on lunch break or not. So, we're excited to launch connective experiences that you can engage with during the little pockets of time in your day that allow for connection - like when you're waiting for an appointment or sitting at a stoplight.
And that's not all! We are also working towards making building connections easier and more accessible by providing users with new ways to connect via Lunchpool.
So, what's next?
Today is just the beginning - only the first step of our journey towards fulfilling the world's hunger for connection by making connection easier and more accessible than ever before. We hope you will join us on this exciting adventure!

Alex & team- You were incredibly helpful for our event last year. I can’t wait to see what’s next!
We’re going to miss you, but all good things must come to an end. Thank you for everything!
Hey Alex,
It’s been great working with you over the past few years. Our whole team is really going to miss having Lunchpool around.
I am so sorry to hear that Lunchpool is shutting down. It was such a great resource for me and my team. We will definitely miss it!
All the best,

You are awesome. Please let me know when you launch the next thing with the community platform you were telling us about. I want in.
Best,
