Simple Process:

1. Sign Up Using Our Simple Onboarding Form

Start your journey by filling out a quick, intuitive onboarding form. Here, you’ll share basic info about yourself, including your interests, personality traits, and what you’re looking to gain from the experience. It takes just a few minutes and helps us understand who you are, so we can match you with the right people.

2. AI Algorithm Matches You to a Group

Once you've completed the form, our AI-powered algorithm gets to work. Using the data you’ve provided, we carefully select a group of like-minded individuals who share similar values and interests. No random pairings—our goal is to ensure that your group is a natural fit, so every conversation feels engaging and meaningful.

3. Receive an Invitation & Join Your Group

When a group is ready, you'll receive an email with all the details: the time, date, and location of your meetup. During the meetup, you'll participate in our signature game, No Small Talk, where you and your group are guided through a series of deep, thought-provoking questions. This structured experience helps break the ice and encourages open, honest conversations, allowing you to quickly form connections and leave feeling like you've made lifelong friends. You’ll always know what to expect and can opt-in to any group when you’re ready.
