From Application to Actual Friends

Here's exactly what happens from the moment you apply to the friendships that last.

Applications are now open for Winter '26 cohort

Phase 1: Apply & Get Matched

1

APPLY

Fill out our application (15 minutes, tops). Tell us about yourself, what matters to you, and which Circle feels like your vibe. Pay a $25 deposit to secure your spot.

2

WE MATCH YOU

Our team carefully matches you with 4-6 people based on life stage, values, interests, and availability. If we find your Circle, you'll have 48 hours to pay the remaining program fee and confirm your spot.

3

MEET YOUR CIRCLE BEFORE WEEK 1

Get profile cards for each member (name, neighborhood, interests) and your Circle Toolkit with weekly plans and conversation prompts. You'll know your people before Week 1

Phase 2: The 6-Week Program

Here's what happens when you actually show up. Each week builds on the last, starting easy and getting more connected as you go. Activities vary by circle based on your group's vibe: outdoorsy types might hike while others hit trivia night.

 

Sample schedule: Mondays | 6:30–8:30 PM (same time each week, location varies)

We Handle the Hard Parts

This isn't "meet up and hope for the best." We match you thoughtfully, plan the activities, and give you the structure that makes friendships actually happen.

01

PERSONALIZED GROUP MATCHING

We carefully match each Circle based on life stage, values, interests, and availability. 

03

WEEKLY ACTIVITY FRAMEWORK

Each week has a built-in plan and theme. No endless group chat debates about "where should we go?" The structure is there. You just show up.

05

SUPPORT WHEN YOU NEED IT

If challenges arise (scheduling conflicts, group dynamics), we're here with strategies to keep things smooth.

02

PROFILE CARDS BEFORE WEEK 1

Get a snapshot of each Circle member before you meet: first name, neighborhood, interests, fun facts. No surprises, no "wait, what's your name again?"

04

CIRCLE TOOKLIT

Your digital guidebook with weekly activity plans, conversation prompts, backup plans, and everything your group needs.

06

POST-PROGRAM CONNECTIONS

After Week 6, we facilitate 1:1 introductions if you want to stay connected with specific people. Plus early access to future cohorts at a discounted rate.

What We Ask From You

01

COMMIT TIME

2-3 hours per week for 6 weeks. That's it. No homework, no mid-week obligations. (Though many Circles end up wanting to hang out more. That's up to you.)

03

BE VULNERABLE

Not therapy-level vulnerability. Just being yourself. Showing up authentically. Letting people see the real you.

02

SHOW UP

This is the most important part. Your Circle is counting on you. If you must miss a week, you communicate in advance. Flaking is not an option.

04

INVEST IN FRIENDSHIP

You believe friendship deserves the same energy and investment as your career, health, and personal growth.

Ready to Begin?  

The next cohort starts February 23rd.

Spots are limited to 25-30 people.
