Pitch-a-Friend: Ireland
Gráinne brought Pitch a Friend to Ireland in 2024 after seeing a viral video of a version of the event run by the Seattle Social Club. She reached out to their founder, Lucas Chaufournier, and with his support, hosted Ireland's first Pitch a Friend event in November 2024.
She is excited about bringing millennials together to celebrate their friends, make new ones, and expand their social network to create more opportunities for romantic connections.
When she's not planning these events or enjoying her day job, Gráinne can be found walking her dog, indulging in an extended savasana, or having coffee or dinner with friends.
Pitch a Friend: Ireland is helped by a lovely team of volunteers who meet regularly to plan the events. If you'd like to join us or want to chat about future events, please get in touch using our contact form!
Grainne O'Hogan HostBringing a whole new meaning to sliding into your DMs
Online dating can be frustrating - you might have a great chat, but when you meet, something doesn't feel right that you can't predict. Here, you're in the room with somebody, seeing how they move, how they smile, and who they are.
It's about creating an organic place for people to connect in a big city. Even if you're just in the audience, you'll get to learn something about people and create a bit of vulnerability. After all, friendship is one of the most important relationships you'll have in your whole life - who better to represent you than your chosen family who's been there through thick and thin?
Submit a PitchWhat They're Saying
Gary Launch event attendee "You get a feel for the person, you know, their friends are talking about them. So, you get a good idea of their strengths and thing. It's definitely different to the app type setup, for sure. Hopefully more similar stuff will appear."
Oliver Callan Radio Host & Comedian "For any of us singles out there, this is great. It's a new fresh take on modern dating. I think pitching a mate is a really good idea. It looks like good craic if nothing else. Gives a whole new meaning to Elevator pitch."
Sarah Launch event attendee "Well, for me, it was a surprise seeing how much love there was with the friends pitching their friends. I was kind of here on the singles night basis but I was really taken aback with how much love they had for their friends."
