I signed up a few weeks ago. Total app noob, no audience to speak of on twitter or here, but I am a member of Ramen Club in London for about a year.
The general vibe is a bit young (I'm 54, so not expecting much in the way of connection), and the platform leans heavily toward younger users and fostering connection between them. The much touted 'ai' at the heart of the platform is constantly recommending other people to talk to.
While they don't say so, the funding is clearly designed to drive VC money and attention toward early stage founders - they essentially get access to thousands of new projects every year for not much investment. Probably much faster than going through thousands of pitch decks - the members are constantly pitching to each other!
There's also farza's interest in building a global learning platform and he's experimenting with Buildspace as a mechanism to build at scale and test it.
I'm looking at it as a point of interest. Will I build a big following? nope. Will it inspire me to build out my app faster? Possibly - I'm deep into learning everything I can at the moment, so I'm seeing this as just another channel to pick up knowledge. BUT - even the general tone of the content and site is aimed at much younger people than me. We'll see.
