“Can a social calendar app become the default platform for discovering and coordinating real-world events at consumer scale?”
IRL was founded in 2017 as a social calendar and event discovery app under Get Together, Inc., aiming to bring people together over shared experiences. The platform grew rapidly during 2019–2021, raising over $197M total.

IRL has raised $197M in total (latest round: unknown).
