The first connects.
They started in July: the World Cup final on a big screen in Hackney, then a blues set and a film on a rooftop in Stratford. Since launch: a film under the open sky at Coal Drops Yard, a market afternoon in Brixton and an evening of spoken word on a floating stage at Canada Water. A handful of people each time, most of them strangers until they sat down.
What if it were easy to meet new people, platonically, over the things you already love or want to try? Easy to grow your circle as an adult? That's what I'm building Igodo for. Curators put up the plans, the app finds the right people, everyone stays connected after and the best plans come round again. Igodo is free, whether you curate or join. Making new friends shouldn't be as hard as it is.

The opposite of a feed.
Most social apps want your attention. Igodo wants you out the door. No feeds to perform for, no streaks, no swiping. Just real, curated plans and a few people chosen because you are likely to click.
A connect is a curated plan: a few people around something simple. A walk, a long lunch, a board game, a gallery. You see when and where it is, who's curating and how well it fits the way you like to spend time with people. Then you go.
If it works, you need it less over time, because the people you meet become yours.
People curate plans across London, and Igodo helps you find the right ones, with people you're likely to click with. Join one that suits you, or curate your own.
How it works.
You can join the connects others create, or bring people together yourself.
-
Answer a few questions.
Not a test. Your answers place you among six social styles, based on how you like to spend time with others. The connects and people you see are the ones that fit yours.
-
Join or curate a connect.
Small by design, and the curator sets the size. A set time, a public place. The exact address opens once you are in.
-
See them again.
If a connect was good, the people from it stay easy to find.
The house rules.
- Show up.
If you say you are coming, be there, and tell the circle early if that changes.
- Be open and kind.
Everyone is a stranger making the same leap, so make room for them.
- Be someone they can see.
A photo that shows your face and an about line that says who you are.
- Look after each other.
Meet somewhere public.
We are more digitally connected than ever, yet more socially disconnected. Let's change that.
