Tide House

Loneliness has become one of the defining problems of our time. We're building Tide House to help end it, one friendship at a time.

Friendship gets harder in adulthood. It happens in different ways for different people, and most of us assume it is just us.

Some people meet others easily but nothing quite sticks. Some move to a city where everyone already has their group. Some watch their friends scatter as families grow and people leave. Some grow into a different person from the one their old friends knew. Some had a falling out that never healed, and some never had a group in the first place.

Whatever the shape of it, the result tends to be the same: fewer people to call, and a sense that it is too late to do much about it.

Tide House is a new venture about that. We think loneliness, and a lot of what sits behind it, comes down to how we relate to ourselves and to each other, and that almost nobody is taught it. We want to build something that helps, and that leads somewhere real: people meeting in their own area, and in time a place you can walk into.
