Why We Exist

Why We Exist

Why We Exist

The Circles Club was born from a singular, modern frustration: why is it so difficult to coordinate with the people we actually like? We are the most connected generation in history, yet the "admin" of organising a simple dinner or a game of padel has never been more exhausting.

WhatsApp is chaotic. Social media is performative. Circles is different because trust is baked into the code. You cannot see a stranger. You cannot be cold-messaged. You cannot "ghost" a group without consequence. We use technology to enforce the behaviours that make genuine connection possible.

Every feature we build answers one question: does this get you off your phone and into the city? If the answer is no, we don't build it. We aren't an app designed to keep you scrolling; we are the engine that gets you out the door.

Who We Are

What We Do

What We Do

What We Do

The Circles Club shows you real-time availability for your friends, so you always know who's around to do something with. 

It is like Find My Friends, but built for making plans happen instead of just tracking where people are.

It also shows you who you should meet based on your interests, so you can do more of what you live. 

Effectively, in one place you can seamlessly see which of your friends are free, make plans and do more of what you love.


London First

We are focused on delivering the perfect social experience to London before we take Circles to the rest of the world.

Hours Reclaimed

No more pinging out twenty last-minute texts or waiting for a reply from one person before inviting another. We’ve killed the back-and-forth.

Powered by You

Our membership is our lifeblood. As your circle grows, the potential for spontaneous, high-quality plans becomes limitless.

Our Values

The Values Behind Cirlces

The Values Behind Cirlces

Our values shape everything we do. Community is a cornerstone of humanity and we open the doors to this for all.

Interest-led matching

Not demographics. We optimise for whether a group will have a good conversation — connecting people on what they actually care about.

Anti-bail reputation engine

A public reliability score. Confirm 24h out, check in on arrival. Cancelling late is visible to your network. No ghost, no streak.

Our Members As Our Moat

Build on trust and real relationships that are impossible to import or fake, make us unique, and unlocks new friendships build on mutual interests and hobbies.

Mutual Connection Requirement

1 mutual connection required No cold strangers. Every person is vouched for by someone you already know. Trust is baked into the architecture.

Our Founder


Gus, Our Founder

"I built Circles because I kept having the same moment free, wanting to do something, but not knowing who to ask.

Turns out almost everyone has that moment. And nobody has solved it.

More broadly, The loneliness epidemic is the defining social crisis of our generation. I'm not here to fix it with a grand gesture. I'm here to fix it one evening at a time.

Circles is built on trust and friendship between real people, in real places, making real plans.

Your city is full of people worth knowing. Circles finds them."


Gus, Our Founder

"I built The Circles Club because I kept facing the same issue: wanting to do something, but not knowing who to ask.

We each maintain around 150 real relationships, but most people only text their closest five to fifteen. The rest of our social circle sits idle because reaching out requires friction, drafting messages, and risking non-responses.

The Circles Club unlocks that existing network by making members visible to each other when they actually want to hang out.

Your city is full of people worth knowing. We simply provide the shortcut."
