A SMALL, SPECIFIC WAY TO MEET

LESS “WE SHOULD.”
MORE “SEE YOU THERE.”

One unfinished local plan is all you need to bring. We build the introduction around an actual place to go.

01
A COUPLE OF MINUTES. NO PAYMENT DETAILS.

PUT YOUR CITY ON THE MAP.

Start with a first name, email, city and a few practical preferences. Choose an outing style and add an optional 404 Card idea. The founding waitlist is free, and your guide appears immediately after signup.

02
PRACTICAL COMPATIBILITY BEFORE BIG PROMISES.

MAKE ROOM FOR A REALISTIC MATCH.

When local introductions are ready, we look at travel distance, compatible availability and agreed budgets. Shared curiosity matters; identical careers or matching life stories aren’t necessary. There is no instant matching algorithm or guaranteed timetable.

03
NAMES. A MEETING POINT. A PLAN B.

SAY HELLO BEFORE YOU GET THERE.

A proposed experience begins with a short hosted online introduction and clear details about the first public meeting. Check the route, costs and access needs before deciding whether to participate.

04
ONE PERSON’S PLAN. EVERYONE’S AFTERNOON.

TAKE THREE SMALL TURNS.

Each person brings an outing. Over three weeks, the trio makes room for all three plans, rotating simple roles like choosing the route or finding a refreshment stop. You can decline any activity that doesn’t work for you.

05
A NEXT TIME, IF YOU ALL WANT ONE.

KEEP THE PART THAT FEELS GOOD.

If you want to stay in touch, agree a next plan and exchange details with permission. A monthly coffee or a regular walk can be enough. There is no requirement to continue and no friendship outcome is promised.

A QUICK NOTE ABOUT RIGHT NOW

All cities are currently collecting founding interest. A signup is a request to be considered, not a booked introduction.

ONE SMALL PLAN.
A DIFFERENT KIND OF COMPANY.
