After having read the whole FAQ, I still don't know what the product is. Where are these "meetings" held? Who attends the meetings? Why should I care? Why do I have to "apply"? How do they plan to make money?

I went on a few of these meetings and thought there were some interesting people in the network. Sad to see it shut down :( That being said, the service was free and I don't know if I would've been willing to pay Weave.

One of the base use cases was Recruiter-Candidate connections.If I am looking for a job, and then I bump into a Recruiter's profile who is looking to Hire in my area of expertise, I hit like & if there is a mutual like - You start chatting and go for a coffee to learn more about the opportunity. Sometimes , these are directly the founders of small companies. The timing did not align all that well for me ,though I chatted with a lot of entrepreneurs , I never ended up meeting any one in person.
I suppose , this would have eventually grown into some sort of 'professional introduction' platform - And Weave would have charged you for the introduction. Unfortunately , looks like they couldn't get to that point at all.
First I'd heard of it, but seems like a really effective way to apply bias filters for elitist tech folks to meet and advance careers of other elitist tech folks. Glad it's shutting down.
That's a really horrible thing to say. They presumably worked hard to help people connect. I'm sorry if you don't like their selection criteria, but people meeting and interacting in the real world is better than them not, no? If you would like to start a competitor which helps bridge 'elitist' to 'non-elitist' please do, until then, please don't hate on someone's attempt to make their part of the world better.
What an asinine attempt at censorship with a complete lack of understanding of social dynamics.
If anything, the evidence that the business model of bridging elitist to non-elitist doesn't work is that weave.in is shutting down.
In your limited world view, is anyone who isn't successful not allowed to criticize anything at all?
> make their part of the world better
Debatable and completely subjective.
