50,000 Meetups. 45,000 cities. 10.8 million monthly visitors. 11.1 million members. 117,000 Meetup topics.

When Scott Heiferman and his co-founder launched Meetup in the wake of 9/11, their mission was to revitalize local communities in America. With these numbers 10 years later, it's safe to say, "mission accomplished."

But Heiferman is still hard at work helping people find "Meetups Everywhere About Most Everything." The platform uses the power of the Internet to get people off the Internet, so they can develop relationships IRL with those who share their passions, from book clubs to entrepreneurship networking to running groups. If you have a passion, there's a Meetup for it.

Heiferman himself starts many days with a Meetup. "It's so important to stay connected to what you're doing," he says.
