GoFindFriends is a social networking website based in New York City. The website connects people looking to make new friends in real life based on common interests. It is an "online friending" site similar to OKCupid and Match.com, but is strictly for platonic relationships. [1]
Company
GoFindFriends was founded in October 2014 by John Boese and Peter DiBari. The company received initial funding through a pre-accelerator program run by General Assembly and 500 Startups.[2]
Product
GoFindFriends is a website and mobile app. People looking for new friends suggest activity ideas by completing the phrase "Let's go...". Other users respond if they are interested in joining. An algorithm calculates a percentage match for each user based on answers to questions about likes and dislikes. [3]
The service is primarily for people aged 20 to 29 in the New York City area, with plans to expand to other age groups. [4]
