Sick of doom scrolling on socials and sitting at home when you really should be out enjoying life? Do you think making friends as an adult should be easier? So do we. Let’s fix that together.

Who We Are

Pie is on a mission to defeat social isolation by making it easier for people to make new friends. We’re building a platform that uses technology and some ~friendship science~ to make the experience of meeting new people as easy as calling an uber.

Through Pie, users can discover local events, meet like-minded people, and create real connections through shared experiences and recurring interactions. Whether it’s attending a fun event, hosting a plan, or simply finding people who share your vibe, We make friendship as easy as Pie.

One of the things that sets Pie apart is our growing community of Pie Creators—IRL conveners who host plans and bring people together in unique and exciting ways. From hosting pickleball tournaments to organizing coffee and DJ mornings, Pie Creators make it easy for users to find plans that fit their interests and meet others who share their energy. By empowering creators with tools and resources, Pie helps build a dynamic and thriving community both online and offline.

At Pie, we’re not just building a product—we’re creating a movement to revolutionize how we use technology to bring people together. We want you to bring your talent, creativity, and empathy to help us reshape how the world makes friends.
