Why Friendli Social Exists
Friendli Social was created to make meeting people and discovering local events easier, more fun, and more meaningful. Modern social platforms help people stay connected online — but not enough tools exist to help people actually connect in real life. Friendli bridges that gap.
The problem with today’s social apps
Most platforms today push endless scrolling, swiping, or chaotic feeds. Dating apps rarely lead to genuine friendships. Event websites feel outdated or limited to businesses. Social networks overwhelm people with noise instead of helping them find something to do.
People aren’t looking for more screens — they’re looking for real experiences and real people nearby who want the same thing.
The vision behind Friendli
Friendli Social is built to help people make real-world plans quickly, discover local experiences effortlessly, and build community through shared activities. Instead of treating events like a static directory or a feed of ads, Friendli centers the experience around real connections, real events, and real-life plans.
Everyone can host
Most event platforms only allow businesses or organizations to host. Friendli takes the opposite approach. Anyone can create an event — students, adults, newcomers in a city, hobby groups, neighbors, creators, or professionals. If someone wants to host a hike, a board game night, a watch party, or a community meetup, they can.
Who Friendli is for
Friendli is designed for people of all ages who want to meet others, find things to do, and build friendships naturally — not just college students. Whether someone has moved to a new city, wants to meet others who share their interests, or simply wants something fun to do this weekend, Friendli helps them find it.
