You don’t need another event. You need the same people again.
Making friends as an adult is weirdly hard. You meet someone cool at a thing, say “we should hang out,” and never see them again. Seirea puts you in a group of 6 or 7 people near you that meets every week. Same people every time, until strangers turn into your regulars.

When your city opens, you’re placed in a group of 6 or 7 people near you, free the same night, in a similar age range, into some of the same things.
- 4
Same people, every week
Week 1 is at a public spot we pick. After that, your group decides where to go: coffee, tacos, a walk, a game night.
Which city opens next?
DFW opens January 1, because that’s where I live. Every other city opens when its line hits 100, and the board shows which one is closest.

People expect meeting strangers to go worse than it does.
In a 2022 study, students who spent five days on small missions to talk to strangers expected less rejection by the end, and the change still held a week later.
Before your first meetup you’ll guess how awkward it’ll feel. After, you’ll say how it actually felt. Most people are surprised by their own numbers.

You’re meeting people you don’t know yet, so the rules are simple and they’re enforced.
I’m Acram. I live in DFW, so that’s where Seirea starts: DFW opens January 1, with the first groups matched by hand. Every other city opens when its line hits 100.

Questions
How does the waitlist work?
Pick your city and join. DFW opens January 1. Every other city opens when 100 people have joined its line, and then we start matching groups there. Earlier spots get matched first, as long as there’s a group that fits your area and schedule. Invite friends with your link to get your city there faster.
When does my city open?
DFW opens January 1, 2027, and the first groups meet that first week. It goes first because I live there, and the first groups start small so we can get it right. Every other city opens when 100 people have joined its line; the board shows which one is closest.
My city isn’t on the list.
Pick “Somewhere else” and type it in. When enough people from one place join, it goes on the board.
Is this a dating thing?
It’s built for friendship, so groups aren’t matched for dating. You’re all adults, though: if two people hit it off on their own, that’s up to them. What’s not OK is unwanted attention, and a no is always a no.
Why not just go to Meetup or an event?
Events are great for meeting people once. The hard part is seeing them again. Seirea puts you with the same small group every week, which is how people you met turn into people you know.
I’ve tried dinner-with-strangers apps. How is this different?
Those are a fun way to meet people, but you get a new table every time, so you rarely see anyone again. Here it’s the same 6 or 7 people every week. Research suggests it takes about 50 hours together to become casual friends, and one dinner is about 3. Seeing the same people again is the whole point.
Do I pay now?
No. Joining the waitlist is free. Once your city opens and you’re placed in a group, it’s $15 a month at the founding price.
Why does it cost anything?
It pays for matching and organizing, and it means everyone in your group actually committed to showing up. Founding members keep the $15 price for as long as they stay in a group.
Who’s in my group?
6 or 7 people who can get to the same part of town, are free the same night, are in a similar age range, and share some of your interests.
How do you match groups?
Where you can get to and which nights you’re free come first, so meeting is easy. Then age range, interests and what you do, so you have things to talk about. We also mix people who get conversation going with people who’d rather listen, so no table is all one or the other. The first groups in each city are placed by hand.
What do we actually do?
Week 1 is at a public spot we pick near your group. After that, your group decides in the group chat: a coffee shop, a walk, a taco place, a game night. A different person picks each week. Always a public place, and no bars to start.
What if I don’t like it?
Your first meetup is refundable. Say so and you get your money back, no hard feelings.
Who sees my email and phone number?
We do, so we can tell you when your city opens and add you to your group. Your group chat doesn’t show your number to the other people in it. Your details are never sold or shared. Privacy details.
Is Seirea an app?
The app is being built now. The first groups start before it’s finished, run by hand on purpose, so the app gets built around what actually works.
