Remember when making friends just... happened?

You'd bump into people at coffee shops. Strike up conversations at bookstores. Join pickup basketball games at the park. Friendship wasn't a scheduled Zoom call or a carefully orchestrated meetup—it was spontaneous, natural, and easy.

Somewhere along the way, we lost that.

The Problem Nobody Talks About

Last year, the Surgeon General declared loneliness a public health epidemic. One in two adults report feeling lonely. Young adults are the loneliest generation in history.

But here's the thing: we're not alone because we want to be. We're alone because modern life makes connection unnecessarily hard.

Dating apps taught us to swipe. Professional networking taught us to optimize. Social media taught us to perform. But nobody taught us how to just... hang out anymore.

Why Existing Solutions Don't Work

Meetup feels like a job application process. Facebook Events are buried under ads. Discord servers are overwhelming. Dating apps are... well, for dating.

We needed something different. Something that makes meeting people as easy as ordering takeout.

Enter Waypoint

We built Waypoint because we believe friendship shouldn't require a PhD in social dynamics.

No algorithms deciding who you should meet. No endless group chats that go nowhere. No pressure to be interesting or witty or perfect.

Just real activities with real people who also want to get off their couch.

How It Works (It's Stupidly Simple)

Open the app - See what's happening near you today
Tap to join - No applications, no waiting for approval
Show up - Do the thing, meet the people

That's it. No optimization. No strategy. No overthinking.

What Makes Waypoint Different

Activities, not profiles. We don't care about your job title or your Instagram follower count. We care that you want to try pottery this Saturday.

Small groups. 4-8 people max. Big enough to be interesting, small enough to actually talk.

Public places. Coffee shops, parks, bowling alleys. Safe, casual, no pressure.

Mutual commitment. Everyone who shows up chose to be there. No flakes, no maybes.

The Future We're Building

Imagine a world where:

Moving to a new city doesn't mean starting from zero
Weekends aren't spent scrolling, wondering what everyone else is doing
Making friends as an adult is as natural as it was in college
Your social life isn't determined by an algorithm

This isn't just an app. It's a movement back to real, human connection.

Join Us

We're launching in 12 cities this spring. Not with massive marketing campaigns or influencer partnerships, but with real people who are tired of being lonely in a world of 8 billion humans.

The waitlist is open. Join thousands who are ready to cure their social hibernation.

Because life's too short for another weekend of Netflix and wondering where all your friends went.

Ready to find your people? Join the Waypoint waitlist and be first to know when we launch in your city.
