The best things in your career happen over lunch.
Deals, friendships, ideas, trust — none of them happen in your inbox. They happen when people sit down together. Circleup removes everything that stands between “we should meet” and actually meeting.

“Our goal at Circleup is to design an efficient catch-up organiser that cuts the fuss out of organising meet-ups — a structured, fast way to send invites and select locations.”
Everyone wants to meet.
Nobody wants to organise it.
The intention is always there. Then comes the “when works for you?” thread, the venue debate, the booking call that never happens. The research puts numbers on what you already feel:
per week spent just organising meetings by a professional arranging six meetings a week — 156 hours a year.

to coordinate a single meeting by hand — before anyone has even said a word to each other.

So lunches don't get planned. People eat at their desks. Relationships that should compound quietly go cold. That's the tax Circleup eliminates.
“Intimate relationships are one of the biggest levers each of us has when it comes to feeling happier.”
— Arthur C. Brooks, Harvard professor & author of Build the Life You Want
Brooks' research on happiness keeps landing on the same point: relationships work like compound interest. Small, regular investments — a lunch, a coffee, a walk — pay off for decades. The hard part was never knowing this. It was finding the time. That's the part we built.
Connected people perform better. It's measured.
Friendship drives engagement
Gallup finds having a best friend at work is what separates high-performing teams from low ones. Yet only ~3 in 10 employees have one. Moving to 6 in 10 links to 10% higher profits and 28% fewer safety incidents.

Teams that eat together, win together
Cornell researchers studied 50+ firehouses for 15 months: platoons that ate meals together showed ~2× more cooperative behaviour and measurably better job performance than crews that dined solo.

Networks compound careers
People with a best friend at work are 2× as likely to recommend their employer — and far more likely to say someone encourages their development. Relationships aren't soft. They're infrastructure.
