About us
Making friends as an adult is harder than it should be.
ComonThread is built around a simple idea: friendships grow from repeated, low-pressure time together — not one-off events with 40 strangers.
We match you into a small group of 3-4 people your age around a shared activity. You start by getting to know each other in a group chat, then meet weekly on video, and when your group clicks — we bring you together in person with curated experiences in Austin.
How it works:
1. Join this Meetup group and I'll personally text you a few quick questions to find your match.
2. Get placed in a small group based on your age, availability, and vibe.
3. Break the ice in your group's WhatsApp chat before the first call.
4. Meet weekly on video for 4 weeks (~45 min each session). Same group, same night.
5. If your group clicks, move to curated IRL experiences in Austin each quarter — handpicked for what your group is actually into.
Current Threads:
• Cook-Along — make dinner in your own kitchen while hanging out on video
• Wind-Down — end your day with a drink and real conversation
• Life-Admin — get through your to-do list with some company
Same structure. Different vibe.
What to know:
• Groups are forming continuously — this isn't a one-time event.
• Cohorts stay small on purpose. 3-4 people, not 30.
• There's a $15 commitment for the 4-week virtual phase. If it's not your thing after the first session, you get a full refund.
• Phase 3 IRL experiences are optional and priced separately once your group is ready.
Most people settle in by week 2. By week 3, it stops feeling like meeting strangers and starts feeling like catching up with people you actually know.
If any of the Threads sound like something you'd look forward to each week, you're in the right place.
