Real Friends.
Real Easy.

The Surgeon General called it an epidemic. Half of American adults feel lonely. We built the antidote — no swiping, no awkward chats, no planning. Just show up.

We've never been more connected — or more alone.

The U.S. Surgeon General declared loneliness a public health epidemic. Social media promised connection but delivered comparison. Friend dating apps promised community but delivered endless swiping, awkward DMs, and meetups that never actually happen.

When you're already feeling lonely, the last thing you need is another discouraging experience. We designed Trybe to remove every single barrier between you and your next best friend.

Making friends as an adult is hard. We fixed that.

Gone are the days when classrooms and dorms made bonding as easy as just being present. Americans are moving more than ever — starting over in their 30s, 40s, and beyond. Trybe was built to solve exactly this — by doing all the work for you. Your Trybe meets twice a month — same day, same time — for 2 to 3 hours, for a full year. That's 24 meetups designed to cross the 50-hour threshold where real friendships form.

🔬

It's Actually Science

Research shows it takes approximately 50 hours of shared time to form a real, solid friendship. Trybe is designed around that number — 24 meetups of 2–3 hours each over a year, totaling 48–72 hours together.

🤝

We Do the Work

No profile building, no swiping, no planning. Our algorithm matches you with 7–10 women in a similar life phase. Once matched, you're added to a private group chat with your Trybe and a dedicated Trybe Guide. You just show up. That's the whole job.

💜

Female-Only Spaces

There's something sacred about friendships between women. Trybe is an exclusively female community designed to foster the deep, meaningful connections that flourish in that space.

🎯

Your Kind of Trybe

Walking groups, book clubs, happy hours, fitness classes — we have every type of Trybe. You choose the activities that match your lifestyle, and we find your people.

📅

Consistency is the Key

Friendships form through repeated contact. Your Trybe meets twice a month — same day, same time — for 2–3 hours, for a full year. Predictable, manageable, and purposeful.

🌍

Give Back Together

Your $250 accountability deposit is held in an interest-bearing account for the duration of your Trybe year. At year's end, the interest earned is donated to a charity your Trybe selects together — and your deposit is returned in full. You're not just building friendships. You're making a difference.

Four steps to your forever friends.

We took everything exhausting about making adult friends and removed it. Here's all you actually have to do.

1

Choose Your Trybe Type

Browse our activity categories — from hiking groups and book clubs to wine nights and fitness classes — and select the type of Trybe that fits your personality and schedule.

2

Get Matched by Our Algorithm

Our algorithm connects you with 7–10 women in a similar life phase who live nearby and share your activity preference. No profiles to scroll. No conversations to force. We do it all. Once matched, you'll be added to a private group chat with your Trybe and your dedicated Trybe Guide — your point of contact from day one.

3

Commit & Place Your Deposit

Commit to attending at least 22 of your 24 meetups and place a refundable $250 accountability deposit. Meetups are twice a month — same day, same time — running 2–3 hours each. This isn't a penalty — it's a promise to yourself. Attend 22 of 24 and every dollar comes back to you at the end of the year.

Just. Show. Up.

Your schedule is set for the full year — 24 meetups, twice a month, same day and time, 2–3 hours each. Your Trybe Guide will be onsite at a clearly marked meetup point so you never have to wander around looking for your group. Your Guide checks you in personally and gets the conversation flowing — all you have to do is walk through the door. By month 12, the science says you'll have made real friends — and we believe it.

📍 Your Trybe Guide checks you in

A promise to yourself. A gift to the world.

Showing up consistently is the hardest part of building any friendship — and that's exactly what the accountability deposit is designed to address. It's not a fee. It's a commitment to yourself. Your $250 is held in an interest-bearing account for the duration of your Trybe year. Attend at least 22 of your 26 biweekly meetups and your full deposit is returned to you at year's end. The interest your deposit earns goes somewhere meaningful — chosen by you and your Trybe together.

🏦

$250 Held Securely

Your deposit is held in an interest-bearing account for the full Trybe year. It remains yours — we simply hold it in trust.

Returned in Full

Attend at least 22 of your 24 meetups and your full $250 is returned to you at the conclusion of your Trybe year.

💛

Interest Donated to Charity

The interest earned on your deposit is donated at year's end to an approved charity selected by a vote of your entire Trybe.

Questions? We've got you.

If you attend your first Trybe meeting and you don't want to continue for any reason, we will match you with a brand new Trybe, no questions asked. You can exercise this right any time up to one week after the initial meeting takes place.
If you miss more than 2 meetups (attending fewer than 22 of the 24), you will forfeit your $250 deposit — but you are absolutely welcome to keep participating with your Trybe! The friendships are the whole point and we would never push you out for life getting in the way.
Your Trybe Guide checks you in personally when you arrive at each meetup. No app required, no manual logging — your Guide handles it on the spot.
Once you're matched, you'll be added to a private group chat with your Trybe and your dedicated Trybe Guide. All communication can live inside the app — or you can exchange numbers with your group. It's entirely up to you.
Your Trybe Guide will send your group a curated list of approved charities one week before the end of your Trybe year. Your whole Trybe votes on which charity receives your group's interest earnings.
Each Trybe member is responsible for her own expenses — food, beverages, tickets, or any other costs incurred at meetups. Trybe organizes and schedules; you pay your own way.
You'll receive full details — location, day, time, and what to expect — at least one week before your first meetup. When you arrive, look for the clearly marked Trybe meetup point. Your Trybe Guide will be there in person to check everyone in and get the conversation going so no one has to stand around wondering what to do. All meetups are 2–3 hours, twice a month, on the same day and at the same time throughout your Trybe year.
Of course! The more the merrier. Friends of Trybe members are always welcome at meetups.
We believe there is something sacred about spaces reserved solely for female friendships. Trybe is designed to foster deep, meaningful, long-lasting connections — and an all-female environment felt like exactly the right foundation for that.
Every Trybe has a dedicated Trybe Guide available inside your private group chat. Reach out to your Trybe Guide directly through the app and they'll get you sorted quickly.
