Find Friends Free in Small Groups.
Hang out with locals and make friends naturally.
Join small-group hangouts (“bunches”) over coffee, dinner, walks, and more — all organized by locals. Build real friendships naturally over time at different bunches and keep your connections in the app. Invite friends and make the world more connected, one bunch at a time.

You matter more in small groups.
Big events leave us feeling invisible. It's not us, it's the format. In a smaller circle, you're part of the whole thing: you can finish a thought, ask a follow-up, share a story without shouting over music. That's what sparks a connection, but it's just the beginning.
With Bunch, connections grow naturally over time as you continue seeing each other in different bunch hangouts, over different activities. And, once you meet someone at one bunch, you're welcome to personally invite them to another, or just make it a one-on-one bunch.
Our Mission & Values
Bunch was created to make spending time together easy, accessible, and always available — without putting human connection behind a price tag. Our mission is to create a more naturally connected world, and we do that by building around three simple mantras that guide how Bunch works and who it's for.
We launched Bunch in Jersey City in January 2025. Help us grow by spreading it to your community.
Inclusion
Everyone's responsibility to make every person feel welcome and included from the moment they arrive.
Curiosity
Ask questions, listen deeply, and discover who people truly are beyond first impressions.
Open Networking
Notice connections that benefit others, not just yourself. Share introductions when you see a good fit.

Event Organizers!
List Your Events
Our members enjoy all kinds of experiences. While anyone can create their own bunch, many also love joining larger events and gatherings. Rather than limiting that, we built Bunch to support it—giving event organizers a way to post their events and use our tools to manage and organize them effortlessly.
To create an event, simply register, click on Create Bunch and select a higher number of RSVPs. Need more? We welcome a bigger partnership Reach out!
Use Bunch with Your Existing Friends
Bunch makes getting together simple — whether it's with your close friends or the new ones you meet on Bunch.
Share your QR code to connect with people you already know personally so you can plan private hangouts, chat, vote on ideas, and keep everything organized in one place.
As you meet new people through public bunches, you can stay in touch and invite them to your private hangouts too — keeping the connections going beyond that first hangout.
Save Contacts. Bunch later.
When you do meet someone at a large event, don't exchange phone numbers or social media. Add them to Bunch. Because Bunch is only for getting together, it's easy to suggest a time, pick a spot, and make it real. No awkward cold phone text or exchanging social media handles. Everyone's hanging out on Bunch.
Groups for Ongoing Connection
Continue the conversation, plan private hangouts, and share suggestions within your group.
It’s an easy way to grow friendships and spend more time together.
Bunch Hi-Lights
The only thing we're really strict about is attendance. If you RSVP, we expect you to make it. However, we leave it up to you to limit the number of attendees, or whether you want to host a more formal event. Here are some things that members use us for.
Sure RSVPs
Members use Bunch to track attendance for their events. Bunch gives you an easy check-in functionality to track who made it, and who did not.
Hosted Hangouts
Bunch lets you use our platform to host more organized, or structured hangouts, because we believe that our members like a variety of things.
Free Groups Alternative
There is no fee to hold a group on Bunch and members are moving from other platforms to use us. Join the migration to a better, free solution.
Community-Driven Innovation
Your feedback shapes our platform. We're constantly evolving based on how our community uses Bunch, making it the most user-friendly social platform around.
