A Closer Story
Who We Are
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.

Things you want to do
Every week (some weeks, every day), Closer members are getting together. If you want to, you can always have plans, whether it’s a spur-of-the-moment thing or something to look forward to for weeks—from beach trips to cozy wine tastings, we unlock the best of your city in every season.
We’re pretty sure you’ll find something you like, but we want to offer things you want to do, not just things that sound kinda fun, maybe. That’s why we’ve given our members the reins: if you like hosting, you can bring people together in your home based on what interests you most.

Reliably great people
Closer is all about the people. It’s not your average twenty-something bar-crawl kind of platform (nothing wrong with that)—it’s for people looking for lasting connection. We design our experiences to bring you together with people who share your interests, and we let the Closer magic do the rest.
Whether you’re 65 and looking for a tennis partner, 45 and looking for a fellow foodie, or 25 and looking for a way to broaden your horizons, you’ll be able to find your people—each experience offers a new group to meet. All kinds of backgrounds, all kinds of stories, all coming together to connect.

Easy to connect
Permission is powerful: at a Closer experience, everyone’s there for the same reason—to make new friends. It’s a place where it’s okay to show up alone, where all the hard work and facilitation is taken care of: no planning, just plans.
Closer experiences are intimate, making it easy for you to get to know your fellow members. And with local market leads that know all the hidden gems, it’s easier than ever to love your neighborhood, your neighbors, your city. It’s all at your fingertips—a place to be yourself. A place to make real friends. A place to belong.
