Looks like an Apple version of Partiful?

Was about to say this. Though less useful, because Partiful doesn't require an app so can be used by anyone.

I wonder how much the network effect may be leveraged for apps like these, to the benefit or detriment of apps like Partiful in comparison with Invites.

I know Facebook's last useful feature appears to be events in many circles.

Apple Invites can be used on the web. https://www.icloud.com/invites/

WTF is this? How do they make money? They have picture of 10+ people as a "team", on their help page

https://help.partiful.com/hc/en-us/articles/26526557943067-H...

it just says "We offer party add-ons and merch on our online store!"

Their online store has like 2 tshirts, stickers, sun glasses and a bag?!

It’s… unclear. Right now their stated business model is explicitly to burn VC cash: https://x.com/partiful/status/1620481353396658176

They probably don't make much money. Their wikipedia page says they got $20m series A funding.

VC for now, offer ticketing with a fee later.

That's actually an interesting plan! That totally might work

Exactly what it is.

What skills/concepts would one need to acquire in order to fully grasp all that you've detailed here?

Please don't start mate.

Yup. Casey just changed the whole game.

Hi Jason, The program looks like it's right up my alley, but the costs seem high(to me). What are the scholarship options available?

Currently no scholarship options. This is something we will revisit as the program gets larger.

We do have a staff member who can assist with financial aid. Given current projections of salary for product managers and likely high placement rates, I think that this would still be a good option, but that's also a personal decision that you would have to make.
