Our Story
Closer started in our living room.
We got tired of meeting people but not in a real way, not in a brand, just an easier way to bring people together.
Something worked. The connections that built, the way people stayed long after the last place was cleared — it felt different.
Today, Closer is a growing network of hosted experiences designed to make it easy to connect.
Good plans. Great people. Just enough structure to make it easy to dive deep.
Our Vision
A platform for belonging. Closer is a network of hosted experiences designed to connect us to home and where they can be their true selves.
Our Mission
Life is richer when shared. Our mission is to combat loneliness by removing the barriers to authentic connection. We create an on-demand social calendar filled with events you actually want to attend. Our gatherings aren't about small talk; they're about sparking real conversations that make cities feel friendlier and relationships feel deeper.
