I think PlaceCal are a good candidate for this, and potentially so is Solidarity Tech who I'm speaking to later today. I'd argue Zetkin too, but I feel they've been quite conservative about how fast they want to roll out and not necessarily interested in mass usage — which is fine.

I feel like Mapped is still in the 'seeking product-market fit' stage with a lot of fruitful avenues to explore, but not firm enough yet to approach this kind of fund.

I might put in a bid for PlaceCal yeah and would be happy to look into a group one nearer the time?

Was also wondering if anyone else had anything this close to market?

This looks interesting, are you thinking of a bid just for PlaceCal as is or as a collaboration between groups?

Solidarity,
