Most events end at the door.

The guest list disappears.

The event page goes stale the moment the night is over. Next month you start from zero and hope the same people find the new link.

The chat scrolls away.

400 unread messages, three polls and one pinned link. New people can't tell what's happening or who anyone is.

Nobody knows who came.

Who's a regular, who was new, who never came back? It lives in your head, or in a sheet nobody updates.

Nori keeps what happened: who came, who met whom, and what's next.

Your event is the ticket into the community.

Other event tools stop at the door. With Nori, that's where something starts. Every step guests take anyway brings them closer to a community of people who have actually met. No extra account, no extra app.

  • Visitor sees the event page
  • Guest has a ticket and is already in
  • Member showed up and is verified
  • Community keeps coming back and pitches in

For you as the host: Set up the series once. Page, tickets, reminders, check-in and recap run on their own for every date.

Getting a ticket means you're in.

Whether they come from WhatsApp, Instagram or the Explore page, everyone lands on the same event page. A ticket only takes an email address, no password. With it, you're automatically a guest in the community: no second sign-up, no app.

Meeting people starts before the event.

Guests see who else is coming, ask questions and make plans right on the event page. First-timers already know a few faces when they arrive. Reminders go out on their own.

One scan at the door turns guests into members.

Check-in is the moment everything turns on. It proves someone was really there, makes guests verified members and unlocks what belongs only to people who have met in person.

  • Verified member Met in person, not just signed up.
  • A stamp in your passport Proof that you were there.
  • Members' space unlocked Discussions, asks & offers, messages to everyone you've met.

Three days, one place for everything happening now.

At multi-day events, Nori becomes the event's digital twin: schedule, announcements, room changes and meeting points, for everyone who's checked in. No second app, no group chat with 2,000 people.

One evening turns into connections.

The next morning, everyone gets a short recap: the people from the event, three worth talking to, and what's coming up. One tap connects you, and the event where you met stays attached to it.

The event ends. The community stays.

People who keep meeting in person come to trust each other. That trust turns a guest list into more: people help each other, trade, start projects, organize things together and host the next meetup themselves.

  • Met in person Members are people who checked in at a real event. No anonymous accounts.
  • Trust from showing up Every stamp shows how often you've met. That's where trust starts.
  • Room to act Discussions, asks & offers, groups, a wiki, member events and private messages, so ideas turn into things that happen.
  • An apartment in Bushwick, found through a member's post
  • 40 race entries pooled for a group discount
  • A team of nine that ran the charity relay
  • A co-founder, met at the third run

And the next date brings new guests.

Every regular started as a guest.

A record of showing up.

Every check-in leaves a stamp. So does hosting, helping at the door or starting a new chapter. Each stamp is proof you were there, so everyone can see who's part of the community, and for how long.

Verified means met in person.

Members are marked verified once they've been checked in at a real event. Nobody else gets the mark.

Many chapters, one community.

Run 30 local groups under one roof. Each chapter lead manages their own city's events and people and can't touch anything else. Members see every chapter's calendar and meet people from other cities.

  • Chapter leads
  • One shared calendar
  • Members across cities
  • One approval inbox

Your guests aren't the product

We're looking for five hosts.

If you run something that meets regularly, we'll set it up with you: your series, your guest list, your community space. In return you tell us honestly how it went after four to six events.
