Geek Meet Club - Community & Dating Platform

Geek Meet Club is a UK & Ireland community where geeks and nerds date, network or make friends, with thousands of members, 29 interest groups and regular IRL events.

The platform was running on a BuddyBoss template: slow, hard to extend, and losing sign-ups to broken flows. The founder didn't want another patch — she wanted a product she owns.
