Meeting new people
shouldn't be this hard.
Get matched into a small group that meets weekly — so you actually build real connections, not just a contact list.
200+ people already signed up
How it works
Four steps. Four weeks. Real people.
Take a quick quiz
Tell us your vibe, availability, and what you're into. Takes 2 minutes.
Get matched
We hand-pick a group of 6–8 people in your city who actually fit.
Meet weekly for 4 weeks
Same group, same vibe, different spots. One outing per week.
Actually get to know each other
Familiarity is what turns a good night into a real friendship.
Why it works
One-time meetups don't build friendships.
The research is clear: familiarity is the engine of connection. Seeing the same people more than once is what turns a good night into an actual friendship.
Random events optimize for quantity. Cohortly optimizes for depth — the same small group, four weeks in a row.

The experience
Real places. Real people. No pressure.
Each week your group picks something to do together. No hosts. No agenda. Just a reason to show up.
Happy hour with your cohort
Sunday morning walk in the park
Dinner at a spot nobody's tried yet
Low-key coffee, no agenda
People say
“I've been to dozens of 'networking' events. This is nothing like that.”
Priya, 29

“By week two I forgot it was even a thing I 'signed up for' — it just felt like friends.”
Marcus, 32
New York
“The small group thing is the whole secret. You can't hide in a corner.”
Chloe, 26
San Francisco
The commitment
Four weeks. One outing a week.
That's it. No ongoing subscription, no recurring fee, no pressure to keep going if it's not for you. But consistency is the point — showing up the second and third time is where the magic happens.
