Closer

Let's get Closer.

Forget exclusive clubs and impersonal meetups. Closer is about experiences that bring us together in genuine ways.

IT'S NOT MAGIC

It’s Closer.

Closer is a platform designed to remove the barriers to authentic connection—and ultimately, to end the loneliness epidemic and create a place where everyone can belong.

We offer the things you want to do, we bring you together with great people, and we design our experiences to make it easy to hit it off. It’s carefully facilitated, not elitist. Exciting, not overwhelming. A reliable yes, not a flaky maybe.

It’s a calendar full of experiences where the hard work’s been done so it’s easy to focus on the people you’re meeting. It’s instant plans, or plans you can look forward to for weeks.

So whether you need more weeknight things to do, you’re in town for the summer, or your best friend just moved to the other side of the world, Closer has your kind of connection, with your kinds of people (or the people you didn’t know you needed to meet).

Welcome to Closer: It’s a consistently good time, more ways to discover your city, always someone new to meet—and a chance at magic.

So how does Closer work?

Feeling ready to get more out of your social life?

We’re here for you whenever that moment comes. You’ll start by filling out our intake form– it just helps us get to know you, so we can bring you the right experiences and people to share them with.

Look out for a special invite from us.

Not only will we invite you to an Intro Event, but we’ll give you some options! That way you can fit connection into your busy schedule, and attend an event that vibes with the way you like to socialize.

This is where you take the leap…

Come to your Closer Intro Event and find a room full of strangers (some of whom will walk away as friends) who also made a bold decision for the sake of meaningful connection. It’ll be carefully facilitated by our team to help create those bridges between you and the people you want to meet. And the best part? You’ll leave an official member of Closer…

Dive into your calendar stacked with the right people, the right places, and the right time.

You’ll now have access to our whole Closer portal. With 30+ experiences a month designed for real connections, you’ll always have plans– and good ones at that! Discover your city, experience new things, and ultimately find a real sense of belonging with Closer.

Everything else like this I go to for the event. I go to Closer for the people.

“
As a therapist based in NYC, I know it can be an extremely lonely and isolating place. It's easy for our loneliness to feel unique or that we're the only one experiencing loneliness. The intro Closer event I went to last night was shockingly vulnerable. People were really present, they were really interested in you, and the format fostered such great connectivity and openness.

“
I had my normal social anxiety going in, but Closer does things a bit differently; everyone comes solo, they provide prompts for you to chat in small groups, and frankly, I had friend crushes on everyone. I honestly can't recommend it more.

Everyone was so warm and open to creating real friendships.

“
if you're looking to make new friends in in NYC, I met the coolest group of people at Closer. Some people are having friend breakups, others are going through other things or transitions in their lives, and whether you're to find a new best friend or someone to get coffee with, there were people from all different backgrounds - I can not recommend enough.

I wish you could have heard the genuine laughter. Everyone was so lovely, and I highly recommend.

“
I went into this event thinking I was just going to have surface-level conversations like where everyone worked or lived in the city, but we actually had such good conversations, and I made so many new friends.
