For venues and organisations

New faces on a normal night.

Plenty of people want to go to nights like yours but don't want to go alone. On Igodo they join a connect, chat with the group beforehand, go together and stay connected after.

Igodo is a free London app for making new friends as an adult, through curated in-person gatherings. A connect is one of those gatherings: a plan someone curates and others join, at a set time in a public place.

Planning something yourself? Curating on Igodo is free.

How it works for you

  1. A curator puts your night up as a connect: the day, the time and what's on.
  2. People who'd like to go find it and join, and the group says hello in its own chat before the day.
  3. They arrive together, at the time the curator set.
  4. If it was good, it comes round again. A connect that repeats becomes a tradition, and everyone who belongs to it hears when the next one is on.

What it does for you

On the night. A group that arrives together at a set time, with one named curator you can talk to. Nothing to set up and no extra admin on your side.

The money. They buy their tickets and drinks like anyone else, and Igodo takes no fee on tickets. When a curator sets a price for a seat, it goes straight to them through Stripe and Igodo takes nothing.

Your name. A night people come back to, as a tradition they belong to. A shared post puts it in front of people who'd like it.

How a shared post works

When a curator agrees in the app, Igodo can share their connect beyond it. We post it on Instagram and tag you, and you can share it with your own followers.

Where connects have met

  • The band on stage at NT's Loft, a trumpeter at the front, the room lit red

    NT's Loft, for Jazz It Up. Most of the group had never met, two more joined the table on the night and they asked to make it a regular.

  • Sevente's shopfront on Hackney Road, a coffee and wine bar

  • Five people smiling behind a stall at the Playing Outside market

Who's behind it

Igodo was started by Rho, who has spent his career building products for global financial firms and founded the social enterprise RootsCo before Igodo.
