Real connections , built around activities and interests.
AI-matched events and activities with locals who actually share your interests.
Making friends and new connections as an adult is broken.
Every generational shift in the last two decades has chipped away at where adults actually meet. The result: a silent epidemic that no app has solved.
Remote work
Office serendipity disappeared. Most adults haven't made a new friend at work in years.
Relocation
We move for jobs, partners, and rent — but rebuilding a circle in a new city is brutal.
Dating-app fatigue
Swiping commodified connection. Most apps optimize for matches, not meaning.
Loneliness
Loneliness is the new smoking. It quietly shapes our health, work, and joy.
Lack of community
The institutions that used to gather us — churches, clubs, bowling leagues — have thinned out.
Performative socials
Feeds give us audiences, not friends. We need rooms, not reach.
Meet new friends through shared experiences.
Convive turns the historic intimacy of a shared meal into a modern, AI-curated way to find your people.
Build your profile
Tell us about your interests, dietary needs, and the kind of night you're up for. It takes a couple of minutes.
Discover compatible people
Our AI matches you on values, interests, life stage, and conversation style — not selfies.
Attend a dinner or an activity night
Pull up a chair at a local host's dinner, chess night, trivia, or game night with 4 to 8 great fits.
Build friendships
Stay in touch in Event Chats, reconnect at recurring dinners, and turn first nights into real ones.
Grow your community
Join Community Circles around your favorite themes — and watch your social graph compound.
Meet people you'll actually connect with.
Our matching engine learns from the conversations that worked — not the photos that got swiped right.
Designed to feel like attendees already know each other.
A complete OS for adult friendship. Every event shows a clear Food Format (full meal, snacks, drinks, potluck, or none) so guests always know what to expect. Recurring Community Circles are where first nights turn into lasting friendships.
Join the Host Community!
Host profiles
Cinematic profiles with real ratings, signature menus, and the room itself.
Experience listings
From Tuesday pasta nights to whiskey-pairing dinners — every event tells its own story.
Event chat
A private group thread that opens 48 hours before, and lives long after dessert.
Community circles
Recurring micro-communities for the regulars. Where strangers become a standing crew.
Friendship dashboard
Track the friendships you're building — not just events attended.
AI matching engine
A compatibility model trained on real conversations, not just bios.
Food is a choice, not a requirement.
Some Convive nights are about the meal. Many are about the activity. Both bring the same kind of people to the same kind of table, and almost anyone can host.
A host cooks or curates a full meal.
Pasta night, taco night, BBQ, sushi. Premium pricing for a full sit-down evening.
The activity is the point. Food is optional.
Chess, trivia, board games, movie nights, masterminds, language exchange. Accessible pricing.
Not just events. Real friendships.
The most important metric isn't reservations. It's recurring friendships and the communities that form around them.
Built for real people.
Friendship needs safety. Every layer of Convive is engineered so that showing up feels as safe as inviting an old friend over.
Community ratings
Two-way ratings keep tables warm, respectful, and safe.
Secure payments
Encrypted, escrowed payments — only released after a great dinner.
Reporting tools
Flag anything, instantly. Our trust team responds within minutes.
Emergency features
In-app SOS, location share, and 24/7 trust line during events.
Become the host you've always wanted to be.
Hosts are the soul of Convive. Including food is optional! You set the price, you keep the ticket revenue.
Apply to host.
Tell us about your table.
Simple membership. Hosts paid fairly.
Members pay a simple monthly Convive membership for matching and access to events. Event tickets are separate and go to the host. That keeps membership affordable and hosts well paid.
Save a seat at the Convive table.
Be among the first to shape Convive in your city. Early members get first access as we roll out.
Help build the future of friendship.
Four minutes. No question is required. Every answer shapes the roadmap.
Tell us what you'd attend, what you'd pay, and whether you'd host. Investor-grade signal, dinner-party tone.
A real market, sized from the bottom up.
We size the opportunity from the number of adults actively trying to make new friends, multiplied by a realistic annual value of membership plus platform fees. The category is already proven at scale by existing players reaching tens of millions in annual revenue, which de-risks demand and willingness to pay.
Investors discount stacked TAM. We prefer to show the math and let it compound from there. Reachable share grows as cities are added; per-member value grows as activity nights, premium dinners, and Community Circles stack.
