Get to know us

We started out with an ambitious dream to combat the loneliness epidemic, aiming to help people make real connections and build strong relationships. It soon became obvious that it would make sense to help our clients with online resources and connections-related knowledge in addition to in-person events. We host friend/partner matching events, and offer webinars, referrals, resources, and advice services in order to help you find your special someone(s) and live a great life with connections that fill your cup!

We're hosting in person events for helping people make friends and find potential love matches. These events are currently happening in Charlotte NC. We plan to expand to other cities in the future.

Our mission

We're on a mission to create meaningful connections among professional adults through well-organized events and educational resources.

Our vision

We want to live in a world where people are living more fulfilling emotional lives through romantic and friendship connections; a world with less loneliness and isolation: where everyone has their special person to share their lives with.
