"Circle Up" Meaning

Hey guys..

I was conversing with a banker and the following was said, "Lets circle up closer to next week" in the context of meeting up for coffee.

Can someone clarify what "Circle Up" means?

The two options I can think of are: 1) Meet up before next week 2) Arrange a specific meeting time at a later point in the future (before next week)

Thanks

I'm surprised he didn't say he'd ping you after he got his ducks in a row.

To answer your question, he probably meant #2.

 

Damn, that sucks. I hope you have the necessary bandwidth.

OP, he likely has a lot of wood to chop, and given capacity constraints will need to push this request back... but the meeting itself should be down to brass tacks. No need to put lipstick on this thing as he's probably just looking for high level stuff.
