What we’re about
FriendFounded is a community experiment based on a simple belief: the most meaningful projects and biggest positive changes happen when they grow from genuine friendship, not transactional networking.
We're not another professional meetup or structured accelerator. We're a group of creators, entrepreneurs, changemakers, and curious humans who want to build real relationships first, then see what amazing things emerge from those connections.
Whether you're a designer with a social impact idea, a developer who wants to volunteer their skills, an entrepreneur between projects, or someone who just knows they want to contribute to something bigger—if you believe that collaboration and community can change the world for the better, you'll fit right in.
We meet regularly for everything from casual coffee hangouts to collaborative work sessions, skill-sharing workshops, and community impact days. But it all starts with friendship.

# Group Description
Who We Are: A member-driven community of creators, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who believe the best projects start with genuine friendship.
What We Do: We create space for authentic connections through social meetups, collaborative work sessions, skill-sharing, and community impact projects. No pitches, no pressure—just good people working on meaningful things together.
Who Should Join:
- You're seeking real friendships, not just professional contacts
- You're a creative, entrepreneur, tech person, or changemaker (or want to be)
- You believe collaboration can create positive change
- You're open to contributing your skills to something meaningful
- You don't need a specific project idea—just enthusiasm for building community
Our Approach: Friendship first, projects second. We focus on building trust and genuine connections, then provide a supportive environment for members to collaborate on passion projects, community initiatives, or creative endeavors.
What Makes Us Different: We're not transactional. We're not about collecting contacts or elevator pitches. We're about finding your people and building something that matters together.
Currently meeting in Honolulu, HI. New members welcome—come as you are.
