I completed a video review of Renkoo last week. It is a tool that helps you to plan meetups where you don't already know where or when. It is a bit different than eVite and really has a great interface and it is very Web 2.0/Ajax in its development. I gave Renkoo's CEO, Adam Rifkin, a call to discuss the background of the app, how they monetize the app and where the app is going. I also picked his brain about other business topics around Renkoo. Have a listen using the player below.

Highlights of our discussion include:

Can you provide a brief background about yourself?
Where did the idea for Renkoo come from and how does the service work?
Can you share some information about your users?
What's the team and environment like at Renkoo?
How do you monetize Renkoo?
Can you share some information about your funding?
It looks like you have been in a beeta period for about 9 months - any plan to go live? How has the beta period been so far?
Why the polar bear? Isn't he warm this winter with the record temps so far?
Who are your competitors?
How do you compare Renkoo to eVite or Skobee?
What's next for Renkoo?
What has been the biggest mistake you have made since starting Renkoo?
Confirming my predictions for 2007 about people using the Internet less and getting out more.
