Finding fun and cheap stuff to do in San Francisco and around the Bay Area. Going out and having fun in San Francisco is just too expensive. That’s why we started FunCheap – A free website where cheap bastards like ourselves get together to share tips and recommend free and affordable upcoming events to one another. FunCheap.com is a San Francisco-based website which features recommendations of upwards of 50 affordable, fun and unique Bay Area events each week. It was started as a yahoo group in 2003 by two poor, underemployed San Franciscans, Johnny and Shannon who were sick and tired of trolling through the Guardian, the Weekly, Craigslist, sfstation, citysearch and all those fliers on telephone poles on Haight street just to find out fun things to do that wouldn’t cost us too much. So we put together a list for ourselves and our friends. 10,000 people later, we figured we were on to something! FunCheap is free for both promoters and for people looking for fun stuff to do. About FunCheap Johnny & Shannon, Founders of FunCheap Why are you doing this? How do you make money?: Johnny and Shannon (pictured) both have full-time boring day jobs, and are running the FunCheap site as a labor of love. As the site doesn’t come anywhere close to turning a profit, we do try to offset our costs (servers, domains, postage, etc…) by allowing certain events and venues to sponsor our website and our emails with an ad or two. But we have to actually like the event first and don’t accept everyone who wants to advertise. We’re sure you can understand our need to generate a little bit of income to help cover the costs which we pay out of pocket.
