Adam, the CTO at Uniiverse, is a good friend of mine. I know for a fact that they believe fully in what they're doing. I think the idea of building a social network around bringing people together in the real world is awesome.

Hey Ben. Craig here, CEO of Uniiverse. Actually, Uniiverse is not a social network. We believe that the social layer has been built. The next decade is about the engagement layer, and we are building the platform that connects people for real life interactions. We are a marketplace (across the full value chain i.e. create > discover > book > pay > review), and we are aiming to get people offline.

I guess I don't fully understand the nuance between a social network and an engagement layer ;)

Isn't this just really a nicer Craigslist with some social-trust components?

Craigslist is just a listing site (create > discover). Uniiverse is an end-to-end marketplace, with integrated payments (create > discover > book > pay > review).
