Our Story
Fringle was born on a Friday night.
Not because of technology.
Not because of trends.
But because of silence.
After a long relationship ended, you did what people have always done- you reached out to your friends. And one by one, they were unavailable. Not because they didn't care, but because life had moved them into different chapter: kids, marriage, responsibilities.
You weren't lonely because you lacked people. You were lonely because timing no longer aligned.
Dating apps didn't help find friends. They weren't built for now. Social media didn't help. It shows people- but doesn't connect them. And going out alone felt isolating in a world built for groups.
That moment revealed something bigger:
Millions of adults aren't alone- but they feel alone.
Not because they don't want connection, but because there's no place to find it in the moment.
Fringle exists to fix that.
Our Vision
Our vision is simple.
We envision a world where:
Being alone never means feeling lonely
Finding friends is as easy as finding a ride
People spend less time scrolling and more time face to face
Life stage differences no longer isolate people
Friendship is treated as essential, not optional
Fringle exists for those in-between moments.
The Friday nights, the free hours, the "i don't want to stay in, but i don't know who to hit up" feeling
Welcome to Fringle!
Our Values
Authenticity
We believe the best connections happen when people show up as they are. No filters. No pretending. No pressure.
Integrity
We don't manipulate loneliness for profit. Fringle is built for people first- always.
Belonging
Everyone deserves connection. No matter their age, schedule, or stage of life.
Simplicity
Connection shouldn't feel complicated. We focus on what matters: meeting in real life.
Fun
Life is better with friends. Friendship should feel exciting, welcoming, and easy.
