About

A message from the founder

I started Mutuals because I know how hard it is to make friends as an adult, and I didn’t love the solutions out there.Awkward coffee dates that felt like interviews. Generic happy hours with strangers. Apps where you swipe on people like you're online shopping. It was all so... transactional. So forced. So not how real friendship actually happens.I knew there had to be a better way.I grew up as one of three sisters, each a year apart. Having my people was integral to my life. I had built-in community, constant connection, someone who always got it. And its importance was engrained in me since I was little. My mom would make sure the sisters would make up after each fight, and taught us how to be there for each other unconditionally.We also moved around a lot. I learned how to build new friend groups from scratch, over and over. I learned what works and what doesn't. I learned how hard it can be.
As an adult, it got even harder. It took me years to find my crew in SF. And when I did, I remembered how much more fulfilling life can be when you are with your people.I've always been a connector. The middle sister. The one who introduces people. The one who hosts. The one who creates spaces where strangers walk in and friends walk out. This is what I love doing. This is what I'm good at. I learned it from the best— my parents still host 100+ people dinner parties. They taught me what it takes make guests feel at home, to feel seen, and the importance of every detail to throw a good party.Mutuals is built on the belief that friendship shouldn’t be left to chance. We create curated, interest-based gatherings designed to help like-minded women connect in real life — without the pressure, awkwardness, or randomness.I'm So Glad You're Here,
