Online Sponsorship Sales for Meetup!: Meetup (meetup.com)

Our goal is a "Meetup Everywhere about Most Everything", and we're on our way. We help people use the internet to get off the internet and form local community. Meetups make a difference in people's lives and can change the world. We're fast-growing, based in downtown New York City, venture capital-backed, just-turned-profitable, and a great place for top talent to do their best work.

We have a proven sponsorship program that connects sponsors, like Columbia Sportswear, Microsoft, Blackberry etc, with Meetup Groups -- and Meetup Groups with sponsors. Sponsors get a unique, powerful way to build their brands while breaking through social media clutter and reach real people in the real world. Meetup Groups get financial support and other great benefits from sponsors. Learn more about Meetup Sponsorships, here.
