How it works

Step One: Join

Complete a short application telling us about yourself, your interests and the type of friendship you're seeking.

Step Two: Review

Every application is reviewed individually.

We consider shared interests, lifestyle compatibility, personality and social preferences when making introductions.

Step Three: Introduction

Once a suitable introduction is identified, we'll coordinate a meeting and suggest a format designed to encourage comfortable conversation and connection.

Step Four: Follow-Up

After the introduction, we'll check in with both participants separately to see if they want to meet again.

Step Five: Continue

If both participants show interest in meeting again, we plan the next meeting and possibly the third if both parties agree. If the introduction wasn't quite the right fit for one or both parties, we'll continue curating introductions through the remaining rounds.

Each participant receives up to three curated introduction rounds.
