Partiful exists to strengthen your social ties.

In a world that has us increasingly busy, stressed, and isolated, our social ties keep us sane, healthy, and joyful. In fact, the strength of these ties is the single greatest predictor of longevity and happiness.

But beyond our innermost circles, it’s really hard to spend quality time with people. Seeing our extended social groups — friend groups, relatives, coworkers, neighbors, teammates — requires making plans to hang out. And while it's easy to organize a catch-up with a few close friends, making plans with larger social groups requires a ton of coordination and overhead.

We end up going months (or years!) without seeing people we care about, just because few of us have the time or energy to organize hangouts. Over time, these extended social ties start to fray, and we're left with only a handful of truly meaningful relationships.

We’re making it radically easier to build friendships.

We think it's crazy that there are so many resources to help us with our romantic and professional relationships, but nothing that exists to help us build friendships.

The key to building friendships isn't another app. Swiping for friends just doesn't work — we know because we've tried. In reality, the people most likely to become new friends are in our extended social networks — friends-of-friends, casual acquaintances, classmates from school we've lost touch with, former coworkers and teammates.

And while it may feel awkward to reach out to these people for 1:1 meet-ups, it's natural to invite them to a party, reunion, or other group hangout. By seeing people regularly in group settings, we create the foundation for deepening relationships over time.

To start, we’re helping you plan social events effortlessly.

With curated activities and automated text coordination, we make it incredibly easy to plan & host social events. The results are magical: by removing the planning overhead, we help you actually spend meaningful time with more of your social circles.

If you're excited about what we're building, we'd love to hear from you. Drop us a line at hello@getpartiful.com, or text us at 415-937-1717. You can also join the movement by signing up for our mailing list (no spam, promise!).
