You'd love to find a community of people you click with, but it seems like everyone already has a tight-knit friend group.
Or maybe you're meeting a lot of people, but none of them feel like real friends.
There's so much you'd love to do, explore, and learn, but it just isn't the same when you do it alone.
You want to find your people but you haven't yet. Does that mean they don't exist? No!
It takes time and commitment to build real friendships as an adult, but it can also be a LOT of fun. You just need a new way to meet people 😉

Hi! I'm Nina. I haven't always had a group of close friends.
Or even when I have, they haven't necessarily been people I actually felt connected to, that brought out the best in me, or that I was excited to see and spend time with.
I was at the point where I thought close friends were a Hollywood scam. I couldn't imagine having people I enjoyed doing things with, travelling with, introducing to new people...
And as I tried to date and make new friends, I just couldn't find a way to do it that felt meaningful and fulfilling. I'd tried networking events, online dating, parties, bars, friends of friends... nothing developed.
But then, things changed.
Niloo and I met in 2019 because we both wanted to build a better way to date. So we started a company together called Hello Iris, and spent almost two years trying to solve that problem together.
And in that time, we became best friends 😁
The kind of best friends who talk every day and still don't run out of things to say, who have seen each other through every high and low (and trust me, there were lots!), and who can't imagine a life without each other in it.
And through the time we spent building a company, sharing cool new experiences together, and exploring what it takes to have meaningful relationships...
We realized that we'd cracked the code for what it takes to make real friends as an adult!
When you join Good People, you'll be part of a community that wants to do new things together. Whether it's an event we're throwing or something a community member has put together, every event is based around a different topic or activity, so you'll be meeting people who share your interests and curiosities. And because the hangouts are small and interactive, it gives everyone the chance to get to know each other very, very well 😉
Joining Good People means getting exclusive access to a Discord server of people who want to make awesome new friends, regular community-wide events, and a welcome gift to say hello, and thank you for being here.
You're going to love it here if...
Hi! Niloo and Nina here 👋
Nina and I met back in 2019 because we both wanted to build a dating app. We thought there was a better way to date, and a better way to find meaningful relationships. We went through Techstars Montreal to develop the idea of an AI matchmaker that works over text message, and realized along the way that we were solving the wrong problem.
We realized a lot of the things we loved about dating actually went much deeper. It wasn’t about finding your soulmate - it was about connection in general. How we can build tight knit communities, the deep satisfaction of having close friends, and how sharing experiences can bring people together.
We’d faced this challenge of finding meaningful connections in our own lives. As people with a lot of different curiosities and drives, we’d struggled to find communities that we really fit into, that pushed us to become better, and that let us play and have fun. We wanted to create a space and community that would bring people together, create a structure for forming actual friendships, and let people explore their curiosities with other like-minded people.
If building a company together was our playground, and what gave Nina and I the opportunity to become as close as we have, how much of that could we replicate here? And so Good People was born on a dark winter night, with the goal of creating the community we always wished we’d had. Where we could learn together and grow together, with the goal of sharing experiences and making new friends that would stay with us for years to come.
If that sounds like something that’s been missing in your life too, we’ve been saving a spot for you.

The community is made up of people who want to share cool experiences and learn new things together. Whether you already have a ton of things you want to do and want others to join you, or you're looking to join in on what someone else is doing - you're in the right place! Our community is a way to do what you love while meeting other awesome people along the way.
Our goal is to bring together a group of people who share a sense of curiosity about the world, a drive to always be learning and growing, and a desire to share that with the people around them.
We do an interview (super informal!) so we can tell you a little bit more about what to expect, get to know each other a bit better, and do a mutual vibe check. We want to make sure you'll be around people you love, and this is one of the ways we do that!
Most of our events are virtual right now given the Covid lockdown. But we can't wait to bring people together in real life when that becomes an option!
Most of our members are currently based in Toronto, and there are some location-specific events. That being said, we also do a ton of virtual events! So as long as the EST timezone works for you, you won't have a problem ;-)
Remember what going to school was like, and knowing that you'd keep bumping into the same people even if you didn't have classes together? We wanted to create a community that had the same tight-knit feeling. Our focus is on creating deep friendships, so our community structure is meant to help you develop a relationship with the same group of people over time.

Note: All prices are listed in USD.
You don't need to pay anything to apply! We'll ask for a deposit once we've done an interview and you're ready to join the community.
