JOSH

Finding your people

Adult friendship shouldn't be this hard. So we made it easier.

JOSH is a text-based service that learns who you are through real conversation, then introduces you to one person at a time who actually gets it.

No swiping. No endless profiles. Just thoughtful introductions.

That's how we learn. Here's how a Friendship Sprint turns chats into introductions.

Six weeks. Three curated introductions. Tap any intro node to preview the experience.

Week 0

JOSH gets to know you

Start texting. JOSH learns about your life, rhythms, and what you need in a friend.

No introductions available yet. This timeline will populate once real intro data is available.

Week 6

Sprint complete

Your six weeks are up. Now go be friends—no app required.

When you say yes, you enter SafeChat — private texting until you both decide to reveal.

Privacy-first texting

Your conversations happen through masked numbers. Real contact info stays hidden until you're both ready.

Mutual reveal required

Both people have to agree before real numbers are exchanged. No pressure, no asymmetry.

10-day window

SafeChat expires after 10 days. Connect or move on—no lingering conversations.

After your Sprint, you're done—now go be friends.

Six weeks later, you've got three quality introductions. No endless scrolling. No subscription pushing you to stay engaged. JOSH's job is finished.

Your job? Go grab coffee. Go on that hike. Actually be friends with the people you met—not trapped in an app managing connections.

Want more introductions later? Run another Sprint. JOSH already knows you.

Everything you need to find your people.

You won't waste time on incompatible people

When you say "I like the beach," JOSH figures out what that means for you—not just that beaches exist in your life. Matches based on the patterns beneath your preferences, filtering out the "seems nice but..." mismatches before they happen.

Built for people who find this exhausting

Designed for introverts, relocators, and anyone tired of forced socializing. No networking events, no group settings, no performing. Asynchronous by design—engage on your timeline.

No app to download or profile to maintain

Everything happens via text—the way you already communicate. No feeds to scroll, no notifications to manage, no social performance required. Reply when you're ready, not when an algorithm demands attention.

Three real introductions, not infinite maybes

Three quality introductions over six weeks. If one doesn't lead to meeting up, you get a replacement. Built-in finish line—no endless swiping, no decision paralysis.

The introduction is made for you

JOSH handles the hard part with context and conversation starters. They're in your city—actually nearby, not theoretically local. Initial contact feels natural, not like cold-messaging a stranger.

Your privacy stays yours until you're both ready

Conversations happen through masked numbers—your real contact info stays hidden. Both people have to choose the reveal before it happens. No exposing your number to someone you just met.

You see who and why before saying yes

Preview shows their photo, age, and why JOSH thinks you'd click. Includes conversation starters based on what you actually have in common. 24 hours to decide—zero pressure, total clarity.

One payment, no subscription creep

Pay once for your complete six-week experience. No monthly fees sneaking onto your card. Clear value: 3 complete introductions to real people.
