Bamboo vs Lunchclub
Virtual business networking - or real connections in the real world?
Lunchclub matches you for a video call. A call is not a meeting, and the follow-up almost never happens. Bamboo matches people who live in the same city, so the meetup is a coffee rather than a calendar invite.
