We built TNFM because we needed it ourselves.
We are The Next Fun Thing, an LA-based events company running speed dating, kickball leagues, mixers, and matchmaking nights every weekend since 2022. TNFM is the software we built to run our own events, then opened up to operators in 30+ cities around the world.
2,000+ Events run on TNFM
10,000+ Tickets sold through the platform
50,000+ Attendees have used the system
30+ Operators in cities worldwide
What makes us different
We are an event company first, a tech company second.
TNFM exists because we got tired of duct-taping Eventbrite, Mailchimp, LeagueApps, and three different spreadsheets together every week. We built the platform we wished existed: matchmaking, ticketing, sports leagues, and the messaging layer that ties them together, all in one operator dashboard.
We use it every weekend. Speed dating Tuesday, kickball Wednesday, a mixer Friday, a brand activation Saturday. Every feature on this site got built because we hit a wall in our own seasons. Late check-ins, no-shows, payment chasing, schedule rebuilds at 11pm on a Thursday. We fixed the parts that made us most miserable, in order.
We are also the company that runs Love in LA, operates the Burbank kickball league, and has been featured in the LA Times, NBC, USA Today, and CBS. The same team that runs your favorite Tuesday night singles event also wrote the code that powers it. That is the difference.
