Your Socializing App
Hangout with locals on your own time.
Big events can feel like work: bouncing between circles, trying to be "on", and still leaving without a real connection. Bunch is the opposite. Small hangouts, low pressure, and easy to fit into real life— a quick coffee, a short walk, a casual bite. No "commit your whole night" energy.
And it’s not one-and-done. Friendships don’t happen in a single night—they build through repeat, familiar moments. With Bunch, you’ll keep seeing the same faces across different hangouts and activities, and once you click with someone, you can invite them to your next bunch or even make it one-on-one.
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.

Member Testimonials
“I love how Bunch has made RSVPs super reliable because members need to check in. I host a few regular bunches with a bigger number of attendees and it's so easy to manage.”— Velma, Host Extraordinaire
“It's so hard making friends as an adult especially when you're new to the city. Bunch makes it so easy by allowing me to create hangouts for what I want to do and choose to join others that are low-key and so welcoming.”— Julia, ESL Instructor
“I love the co-working bunches and have put on a few. My favorite part is that I get to know people over the course of a few different bunches and not force a connection.”— Sudha, Project Manager

Your Personal Event Organization App
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.
Your Connections App
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.
Your Groups App
Groups for Ongoing Connection
Keep in touch with members that share the same hobbies or are part of the same neighborhoods. 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.
