Friendship shouldn’t be left to chance.
Found creates welcoming experiences where open, curious people can meet naturally, do something enjoyable and form genuine connections.
No awkward networking. No forced introductions. No pressure to perform.
Just good people, shared experiences and the possibility of finding your people.
Making friends as an adult is strangely difficult.
Most of us are constantly surrounded by people. We work with them, travel alongside them and follow hundreds of them online.
But being around people isn’t the same as feeling connected.
Our lives become busier, friendship groups settle and opportunities to meet someone new become increasingly rare. Even when we want to expand our world, it can be difficult to know where to begin.
Found exists to make that first step easier.
We create thoughtfully organised gatherings where conversation can happen naturally and people can arrive without already knowing someone.
You can come alone. In fact, many people will.
A social community built around real experiences.
Found brings people together through simple things that already make life better.
Coffee and conversation
Relaxed meetups in welcoming spaces, with no agenda beyond meeting good people.
Sport and play
Inclusive activities where ability matters far less than joining in and enjoying yourself.
Walks and exploration
Easy-going walks through London, local discoveries and opportunities to talk without sitting across from a stranger.
Shared tables
Brunches, dinners and small gatherings where strangers gradually stop feeling like strangers.
New experiences
Day trips, cultural events and occasional adventures designed to be enjoyed together.
Connection without the awkwardness.
Found isn’t a professional network, a dating event or a room full of people exchanging social media handles before disappearing.
We believe the best connections happen when people feel relaxed, included and able to be themselves.
Events designed for people arriving alone
Warm, attentive hosting
Smaller groups where conversation is possible
Activities that give people something natural to share
A culture built around openness, curiosity and kindness
You won’t be expected to introduce yourself to an entire room or explain why you came.
You only need to show up.
Why I started Found
I created Found because some of the most important people in my life began as strangers.
Over the past year, sport, travel, coffee and chance conversations brought people into my world who now feel deeply significant to me. None of those friendships were planned. They began because someone showed up, said hello or invited another person along.
It made me realise that many people want more connection, but there are surprisingly few welcoming spaces designed to help it happen naturally.
Found is my attempt to create that space.
A place where arriving alone feels completely normal, where people are noticed and included, and where a simple afternoon might become the beginning of a friendship.
