How it works

01

Tell us your vibe

Quick tap-to-answer questions. No bio, no essays, no photos.

02

We find your Circle

5 people who match your energy and interests — not just your label.

03

Show up. Pay your own bill.

A real venue, a Circle Starter to say hi, prompts to break the ice. Everyone pays for what they order at the venue.

Pick your kind of meetup

Tell us what you enjoy — every Circle is planned around the group.

    Confirm your seat by Thursday noon — after that it goes to someone else.

    Venue revealed

    A café, a brunch spot, a bar or a restaurant. Cancelling after this uses up your invite.

    Meet your Circle

    Your Circle Starter welcomes everyone, and conversation prompts in the app get things going.

  5. During

    Safety, one tap away

    Our team is on call all Circle day — call anytime if anything or anyone feels off.

    Rate it, stay in touch
