About Us

Our Story

Count Me In! was founded by an Austinite who experienced the city’s explosive growth up close. Between the hustle work and family commitments, it was hard to know where to begin to experience everything about Austin the rest of the world seemed to be raving about.

Some social apps did a great job of sending calendar invites to exciting events, only to leave you to fend for yourself once you got there. Others did a better job of connecting people, but there just still seemed to be something missing: variety.

Count Me In! was created to take the awkwardness, fear, and isolation out of connecting in the Capitol City!

The idea is simple: Just show up and say, “I’m with Count Me In!”

Our Purpose

We bring people together through engaging experiences that spark curiosity and encourage connection. Our recipe is simple: do new things and meet new people.
Each gathering is an opportunity to build new connections, explore new interests and feel more connected to the community around you. We believe those connections can grow from the smallest moments. A shared laugh over dinner, a spontaneous conversation during an adventure or the excitement of trying something for the first time can turn a simple outing into something memorable.
By keeping our gatherings intentionally small, conversations are natural, and everyone has space to participate. Our goal is for Count Me In! subscribers to leave feeling engaged and inspired!
