POV: youâre tired of networking events that feel like group projects with no instructions đ
So we fixed it.

Haus of 5.
Real interaction.
A little competition.
A lot less awkward.
Common Thread: The Haus Games on June 3rd.
This is the one you actually go to.
Link in bio.
Your village is already in NYC. You just havenât met them yet. đ
Fostr matches you with a vetted circle of 5. Your Burrow. Then we handle the rest. The planning, the coordinating, the awkward âso when are we hanging?â texts.
All you have to do is show up.
Swipe to see how it works. đ
Waitlist is open. Link in bio.
Everything is in service to everything else.đ
This idea is the heartbeat of the Ubuntu philosophy: I am because we are.
In a city as fast and massive as NYC, itâs easy to feel like just another face passing by. Fostr is here to change that.
We aren't just launching an app; we're bringing the village back to the city. Fostr is a real-time, proximity-based platform designed to capture the true serendipity of New York. We're on a mission to help you discover the people right around you and forge deep, platonic connections in the moment.
No endless scrolling. Just real people, shared energy, and the magic of realizing you belong exactly where you are.

Notes on Belonging // Part 02: Network vs. Neighborhood.
We are âconnectedâ to everyone, but close with barely anyone. Weâve built a world where we can see through the window into everyoneâs lives, but we canât find the door to get inside.
Technology should be the bridge, not the barrier. Weâre building Fostr to repair the broken infrastructure of human connection in NYC. We donât need more followers; we need more neighbors.
Does the effort to move a digital friendship into the real world feel like too much lately? Why do you think that is? đ
We move to NYC for the implicit tradeoff: that if we get ourselves into the room, the rest will handle itself. But New York has a way of scaling your isolation.
Fostr is starting a series called Notes on Belonging. Itâs an exploration of the invisible barriers holding us back from true community. We are more "connected" than ever, yet the infrastructure for actually meeting one another is broken.
Before we talk about how to fix the problem of loneliness or build new communities, we have to admit how heavy it feels to realize that volume isn't the cure. Sometimes, proximity only makes the silence louder.
Weâre building Fostr to address the lack of architecture for human connection in the city we all love. Itâs time we built technology that actually brings us together again. Let me know: What is the loneliest youâve ever felt in NYC? đđ
Fostr is arriving sooner than you think.
The social connection revolution will not be held through a scroll or swipe. It will be lived in real life.
We are building the infrastructure for a New York that actually knows its neighbors.
No infinite scrolling and online performance.
Just a curated path to the people already around you, through small, intentional Burrows.
Donât be late to the gathering.
Follow now to catch the signal for the First Wave intake. đ
The best version of you doesnât exist on this app. đ Itâs easy to get stuck in the loop of watching other people live their lives instead of living your own. But the city is happening right now, just outside your window.
We are building a tool to help you disconnect, but you donât need an app to start today.
Put the phone on DND.
Pick a neighborhood you havenât visited in a while.
Go without a destination.
Real life is waiting for you to hop back in. Donât let the algorithm distract you from the adventure.
Save this post as your reminder to log off this weekend. đ
Look up. đď¸
We spend on average 7 hours a day looking at screens, hoping to feel connected. We believe technology should be a tool to get you into rooms, not keep you out of them.
Fostr is your third eye for the third place. We help you see the connections and spaces youâre missing while your head is down.
Digital infrastructure for physical living.
[ Hop into Real Life. ]
Where are you living right nowâŚcheck your settings is your daily screen time over 7 hours?
The digital concierge for real life. đ
We believe connection shouldnât require a calendar invite sent 3 weeks in advance.
Fostr is reclaiming spontaneity in NYC. We are building a space for real-time, platonic connections and third places. No swiping. No planning. Just living.
