What we’re about
We do group social for people in transitional phases of life, like new in town, singles, looking for jobs or career growth, learning new skills, and going through new stages of life etc.. We do that by attending public community events in groups, either volunteering or participating.
We do speed connection and team building in each event we attend. So you always leave with new connections.
We also intend to make our platform self-served, so we especially welcome volunteers, from assistants to organizers. So in addition to volunteer for others' events, you can act as a volunteer organizer here, help yourself, guide a team, and also help others along the way.

See all- Flower Power Mixer -- Fun Connections at Mountain View Wine & Art FestivalPioneer Memorial Park, Mountain View, CA
New in town? Looking to meet people — for friendship, fun, relationship or even career connections?
Join us for a unique Fun Connections Mixer during the Mountain View Art & Wine Festival on Saturday, September 6 in downtown Castro Street.
The festival draws 160,000 people over two days — one of the biggest community events in the Bay Area. We're turning it into your playground for meaningful connections. This event is perfect for unattached professionals, newcomers to the area, and social adults ready to meet potential partners in a fun, low-pressure environment.BTW, we have met and discussed this idea with festival organizers, they love it. So we now have official support.
💡 How It Works
- You'll join small teams of fellow participants, so you're never navigating alone
- Each person gets flowers as conversation starters — offer one to someone interesting, receive one as a connection spark
- Teams head into the festival for bonding while exploring art booths and wine tastings (30 minutes)
- Inter-team mixing begins: Teams search for and connect with other teams & singles throughout the festival, using flowers to spark natural conversations (1 hour)
- Around lunchtime, we'll regroup for an optional picnic to exchange contacts and plan festival exploration with new connections
- All interactions should be respectful and consensual — this is about genuine connection, not aggressive pickup tactics
