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.

How it works

Four steps. Four weeks. Real people.

01

Take a quick quiz

Tell us your vibe, availability, and what you're into. Takes 2 minutes.

02

Get matched

We hand-pick a group of 6–8 people in your city who actually fit.

03

Meet weekly for 4 weeks

Same group, same vibe, different spots. One outing per week.

04

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.

More likely to form lasting bonds after 4+ shared experiences vs. one

6–8

People per cohort — small enough that everyone actually talks

Awkward name tags, forced icebreakers, or speed-networking

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.

People say

I've been to dozens of 'networking' events. This is nothing like that.

Priya, 29

San Francisco

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.

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.
