We believe real connections make people happier. Gatherly is a space where strangers become friends.
Research shows that one in three adults in major cities feels lonely. Social media creates an illusion of connection but doesn't replace real human interaction.
We created Gatherly so everyone has an easy way to find like-minded people and meet in person. No barriers, no complex registrations — just choose an event and show up.
Our mission is to make real-world connections accessible to everyone. We believe one evening with good company is worth a thousand likes.
The principles that guide everything we build
We put people and genuine connections at the center of everything we do.
Events in every major city, connecting people across cultures and borders.
A welcoming environment where everyone can find their place and feel at home.
