Love the idea. From the FAQ section on the website:

> Organizers can keep a portion of sign-up or event fees

Isn't this a given? Don't event organisers expect to keep the entire sign-up fee for themselves when they host an event? The website banner reads:

> Build an IRL community. Get paid for it.

I was under the impression that onthe.town will pay the organisers from their own pocket for organising the event, but that does not seem to be true.

Really appreciate the feedback. The idea right now is that you set up a club and attendees pay a small amount for each event, and then we take a small (~10%) fee for selecting the venues, doing the matching, and handling payments for you.

But I do love your idea and it's something I'm pursuing. We are matching people to meet at venues (restaurants, golf courses, etc) and it makes sense for venues to pay to be selected. That money would go to organizers and the events could be free. It's just a harder B2B problem to convince companies to sponsor communities.

Ultimately, clubs will have the flexibility to be run in multiple ways - from free, to business-sponsored or attendee-funded, to even onthetown-sponsored as you suggest.
