Spark Genuine Friendships in Your 20s
Finally a way to meet new people in your 20s
It can be hard to meet people as a recent grad or young professional—especially if you value in-person friendships like we do. That's why we've created this community, with all sorts of socials to give you unique experiences to meet your new crew.
Revolutionizing Social Networking
-
Skip the Swiping
This isn't about meeting people online, swiping, and texting. We're taking socializing back to what it should be: meeting people in-person.
-
Build Your Community
Get to know new friends in your area, and explore local hotspots in your city. You'll get the chance to connect personally with lots of people, to find the people you want to invest in.
-
Live Life Together
Life is better with people. Find the people you want to do life with, and keep enjoying spending time together far beyond the socials.
Join the Spark with the New Spark Membership
Sign ups for the Social Spark membership are open now. This is our newest way for you to meet people personally, casually, and frequently in the Bay Area, and you're invited to be a part of it.

Who is this open to?
Our events are open to people ages 21-29 right now in the Bay Area (CA). Many of these people are "recent grads" or young professionals who are looking for new social circles after moving away from their college towns. However, you do not have to specifically be a recent grad to attend.
How many people are in a group?
Socials have around 5 people in each one, so there are enough people to find someone you gel well with, while also keeping it more personal.
How does it work when I sign up?
Right after you sign up you'll be prompted to fill out a questionnaire about yourself, which we use as a starting point for finding groups for you. Then, at the beginning of each month, you'll get invites to different outings (coffee dates, drinks, lunches, etc) which you'll get to choose between. After each social you'll review your groups so we know who to better group you with in the future, and you can continuously meet new people to find the ones you want to keep around.

Social Spark Membership
Our new membership launched last month, for 20-somethings in the Bay Area. Members get matched in small groups, based on personality, interests, availability, and more. Then, skipping the swiping and searching, we prompt in-person socials for each group. So rather than meeting online, you jump right in to a group coffee date, lunch, or an another activity. It's just good, old-fashioned, face-to-face connecting. Sign up.
