⛔️ Connecting random strangers from all over the world.

What we are:
✅ Connecting people living in the same neighborhood.

Only verified members can:
🆕 Follow each other.
🆕 Post group chat messages.

How to get verified?
Look for me at an event and I can verifiy your acocunt.

I started Friendmakers because my friends moved out of the city and I missed meeting people without the need to plan a few weeks ahead 😄

On meetup I started organising walks and people from all over the Netherlands joined.

After meeting 600+ strangers, a few of them ( @oskar & @david )  I see weekly and they live in my neighborhood.

We're setting up neighborhoods. If you send me your neighborhood(or street name) I can add you to your neighborhood.

Having a hard time remembering people's names? 😅

NEW:  neighbors page

Add your name and photo.

We are are preparing events for April 2025.

Which neighbourhood or coffee bar would you like us to host an event?
Currently looking for new locations in Amsterdam, Utrecht will be next.

Coffee Bars now have Group Chats.

When you join an event or coffee bar, you will be automatically added to the group chat. You can always leave quietly.

It makes it easy to receive reminders before the event start.
