Our story
Spencer and Ross met at work seven years ago and have been close friends since. Now in their mid-30s, they keep running into the same problem: the friends they have are great, but people are moving, lives are changing, and making new close friends as an adult is genuinely hard.
Your childhood years give you a decade with the people who become your close hometown friends. College puts you in the same room with the same people for years in your late teens. Work and grad school connect you to a new class of people to grow tight with in your 20s.
In your 30s, for the first time, there's no easy way to meet true new friends. Technology promises to solve the problem, but logging on to apps for friends can feel cringe — forcing you to advertise yourself to the masses and hope someone bites.
From these conversations, Good Company was born. Spencer and Ross have both helped build companies in tech, including Uber, Ro, and Ramp — but they've always been the culture carriers in their friend groups and workplaces, the ones who invest in relationships and believe life is better with a strong community around you.
They built Good Company because they wanted it. They're betting a lot of other people do too.
"We're lonely. We want to meet new people in this stage of life. We just don't know where to start."
