About us

A daytime social club for grown-ups.

The homepage tells you what we do. The manifesto tells you how we behave. This page is the thing HR-ish people ask for: vision, mission, values. One page, no org chart.

Vision

A Montreal where making a real friend as an adult feels casual again.

Whether you're 22 and trying to escape the same three faces at the library, 28 and realizing your boss, your co-worker, and the intern probably aren't going to become your friends the way other people did earlier in your life, or 35 and realizing you haven't made a new friend in five years. It got harder. We think that is a design problem, not a vibe problem. Design problems can be fixed.

Mission

Run recurring daytime events that turn strangers into teammates on purpose, and keep doing it until it sticks.

Teams, games, sweat, daylight, phones down. Same format, different challenges. The tenth event is better than the first. The hundredth is the thing.

Values

Five things we will not trade away.

01

Daylight

Starting at 4 PM is way better than being sleep-deprived and (cough cough) happy at 4 AM.

02

Small beats scale

Twenty people who remember each other's names beat two hundred who don't. Do things that don't scale.

03

Sweat is the path

You learn more about a stranger across a tug-of-war rope than across three rounds of "so what do you do?"

04

Kind, not nice

Real invites, real feedback, real boundaries. Nice is a shape; kind is a substance.

05

Show up

Eighty percent of it. The rest is mostly logistics.

That's the one-pager. If you want the longer version, the other docs are waiting.

Are you a nerd?

Want the long version?

The homepage is the TL;DR. If you want to know why this exists, the nitty-gritty details, what we actually believe, and who we're hiring, here are the deeper docs.
