The problem
Planning a night in Nairobi means scrolling 14 Instagram pages, three WhatsApp groups, and a venue website that hasn't been updated since 2022. Half the flyers are fake. Half the events get changed. The good tables get DMed away before you even hear about them.
We rebuilt the entire stack: discovery, trust, payment, networking, and the live event itself.
Commitment via payments, not RSVPs
Save and Going are weak signals. Deposits and ticket purchases are real ones. That's how we keep events truthful and venues honest.
Demand creates supply
Want a Latin night in Westlands? Start a Request a Night. When enough people commit, venues respond. The city's nightlife shaped by you, not by who shouts loudest on Instagram.
Discovery
Find your night in 30 seconds, not 30 scrolls.
Griid's home feed knows what you're into and what's worth your time. Filter by neighborhood, vibe, price, or who else is going.
Every event shows a Reliability Score: how often this organizer actually delivers, how recently the lineup changed, whether the venue is reliable on a Saturday.
Save it. Mark Going. Bring the group chat. The night plans itself.

Inside the Room
Most apps stop being useful the moment you arrive at the venue. Griid is just getting started.
The Room unlocks at events you actually attend. Talk to other guests in real time. Drop a Moment. See who's around in People Here, opt-in only and mutual-only. No DMs without consent. No swipe games. Just a real way to make a Tuesday night feel like a story.

Request a night
Don't see what you want? Manifest it.
Quiet jazz brunch in Karen? Amapiano takeover in Westlands? An afrobeats night that ends before sunrise? Start a Request, add your commitment, and watch the city respond.
When enough people commit, venues launch the event. You don't just attend Nairobi's nightlife anymore. You shape it.

Trust & Safety
Designed to be the safest way to go out.
Identity-verified hosts. Anyone opening a table to strangers is verified, full stop.
Mutual-only social. People Here is opt-in. Private chat unlocks only when both sides say yes. Block and report are everywhere.
Venue-consented features. Open Tables and event-bound interactions only happen at venues that have explicitly opted in.
Made in Nairobi
We started here. We're staying here. Then we're going everywhere.
Built by people who actually go out in this city. M-Pesa first. Sheng-friendly. Sensitive to Sunday brunch culture, Detty December surges, and the unwritten rules of Westlands on a Friday.
Nairobi proves the model. Kampala, Dar, Lagos, Accra, and Cape Town are next.

Questions
The short answers.
Eventbrite is a checkout. Instagram is a flyer. Griid is the entire system: discovery, trust, payment, in-event social, and demand-creation. We don't compete on listings. We compete on what happens before, during, and after the event.
Your next night, on Griid.
Free to join. Premium when you want more.
