I bought Bowling Alone in 2022, when I was feeling these things. For whatever reason, Amazon sent me 2 copies. It was literally the universe saying “Yes, find another friend who is struggling with this and give it to them.”
Hey Andy, I spent a few years working on this problem with a startup I created called ComeWith. We ramped up quickly to 15K users and brought 10K people together across 60 cities in three months. I learned a lot. Please contact me if I can be helpful. https://www.linkedin.com/in/davelinhardt/.
Congrats! Will be rooting for you to figure it out. At anthym.life, we explored ways to replace serendipitous collisions in the workplace when we were all locked down. Music + memories + stories proved to be a great way to break down barriers and get to vulnerability-based trust quickly. The more authentic & genuine our conversations are, the stronger the social bonds will be.
Such a great read. Look forward to the expansion to mid-sized cities! I moved alone from NYC to Raleigh-Durham and find myself in this same predicament. Dont forget the 35+ demographic as you grow! We need more social encouragement and prompts as we get older and settled into our careers. 😅

Would love to see this in Milwaukee! Several apps/platforms attempting the same, none have seemed to stick yet.

Congrats on the launch! Can't wait to try a slice of Pie.
This is a great mission, good luck!

Loved reading this! Made me reflect on how full my own cup is and what the drivers are. Would love to see you guys expand here in the UK!
