There are more ways than ever to “connect”—but it’s harder than ever to actually connect. That’s why we created Closer: We wanted to open doors in unexpected places, to help people find each other and get to know each other, instead of shouting over too-loud music in a room full of strangers.

So we created a simple formula: things you want to do, great people to do them with, and experiences designed for connection. At Closer, these three things are consistent. But what’s special is what happens when these three things are taken care of: that magic when you just hit it off with someone. We didn’t invent that feeling, but we do everything we can to make it possible, as often as possible—it could be your turn next.
