Small circles of compatible, verified people, for real friendship.

Making friends as an adult is hard. NexSpark Friends does the introducing, so a handful of people who’d actually get along end up around the same table. Here’s how it works.

1. Answer a few questions

Instead of a profile, you answer questions about your interests, how you like to spend time, your rhythm, and your friendship style. This is what we use to build a Circle that fits you, and it’s free. Your postal code (any country) tells us where to look for people near you; it’s never shown to anyone.

2. Meet your friendship archetype

You’ll get a friend archetype, the Ringleader, the Neighbor, the Curator, and so on, describing the texture you bring to a group. It’s a read, not a label. Every good crew needs a mix.

3. Your Circle forms

We group a handful of people who live near each other and whose personalities and interests balance well: someone to spark plans, someone to ground them, someone who keeps everyone close. When a Circle is ready, you’re invited in, and everyone verifies they’re a real person first.

4. You get a shared space

Your Circle comes with the people, a group chat, a “why this Circle works” read with things you could do together, and a Plans tab. You can also set the name you’d like to be known by within that Circle.

5. You make plans

Anyone can propose a meetup, a standing hangout or a one-off, and everyone RSVPs. Picking one regular thing to anchor the group is the fastest way it starts to feel like real friends.

6. Traveling? Be a guest

Away from home or between Circles? Tell us the area and dates, and Circles there that welcome guests can host you for your visit. As a guest you join the event and the group’s chat for that stretch, it’s a visit, separate from your own Circle.

7. Circles stay healthy

Circles work because everyone’s real and respectful. First meetups are in public places, and if someone isn’t a fit for the group there’s a fair, private process for it. The whole aim is to keep every Circle a good place to be. See our Community Guidelines.

Your privacy

Your answers and location are private and used only to build your Circle, never shown to others. You can update your details or leave any time. See our Privacy Policy and Terms.
