hey, we have a lot in common...
let's be friends
friendship shouldn't be complicated
remember when making friends was as simple as sharing your snacks at recess? somewhere along the way, it got harder. but it doesn't have to be.
we're building a community where it's okay to say "hey, i'm looking for friends." no apps to download. no profiles to manage. no social media presence required.
just real people, real conversations, and real connections.
our simple promise
we create welcoming spaces where friendships can naturally grow.
who's it for?
- • newcomers to the city
- • people seeking genuine connections
- • anyone who thinks "i could use more friends"
- • those tired of surface-level networking
what to expect
casual meetups, shared interests, and zero pressure. just bring yourself and an openness to connect.
making friends shouldn't be hard
Open Events
From casual coffee meetups to group activities, we create welcoming spaces where anyone can join and feel comfortable being themselves.
Real Connections
Skip the small talk. Our events are designed to foster meaningful conversations and genuine friendships through shared experiences.
Community First
Whether you're new to the area or looking to expand your social circle, we believe everyone deserves a chance to build their community.
let's talk about loneliness
in today's hyper-connected world, we're paradoxically more isolated than ever. between remote work, digital interactions, and busy schedules, genuine human connections have become increasingly rare. and here's the thing: feeling lonely isn't a personal failure – it's a shared human experience.
we believe there shouldn't be any shame in saying "i want to make friends." whether you're new to the city, going through life changes, or simply looking to expand your social circle, wanting connection is natural and important for our wellbeing.
that's why we keep things simple: we create welcoming spaces where people can meet, connect, and form genuine friendships. no complicated algorithms, no swiping right, no social media following requirements. just real people who want to make real friends.
the only prerequisite? show up and be friendly. that's it.
