Brief presentation about the "social club" service called Grouper. Created for EECS 441 at the University of Michigan.

3. “Grouper is a social club, and we
fundamentally want this to be a
community of vetted people. It's very
hard and very easy to meet people in
the city. If you got to a bar, people
will talk to you, but why is it hard to
meet people? It's hard to meet
people that are non-sketchy.”
- “Co-Founder” Jerry Guo
