Growing together starts here
Real connections: your themes, your goals
Connections with impact
Choose your theme
Whether you want to grow, overcome something or just get more out of life – at Friendlr you choose the theme that means the most to you at this moment. Think of following your passion, overcoming burnout symptoms, or achieving financial independence. Your path, your choice.
Find your connection
Based on your chosen topic, Friendlr matches you with someone who really understands what you are doing, because he or she has chosen the same topic. No superficial click, but a like-minded person or fellow sufferer who has the same ambition or challenge as you.
Work together towards your goals
At Friendlr, it’s all about making your life a little more beautiful. We believe that this can only be done by striving for progress. Therefore, set personal or joint goals, motivate each other, share insights, and take steps together to achieve these goals. Because progress is made faster – and more fun – together.

Our Story
Friendlr was born from personal experiences and a personal need. We are Joey and Marijn, and despite having been in the same group of friends for years, we only really got to know each other when we were simultaneously looking for more fulfillment. One struggled with expectations, pressure to perform and an environment in which he did not recognize himself, while the other had been looking for meaning for years after a major loss.
What brought us together was recognition. And what motivated us was the realization that real connection – with someone who understands you – can change everything.
When a friend of ours took his own life, it felt like a wake-up call. How is it possible that we live in a world in which we are always ‘connected’, but so many people feel alone? That question led us to the answer that we are building today: Friendlr.

But what is our goal?
Our idea is simple: to help people live happier and stronger lives, by connecting them with someone who understands exactly where they want to go.
Friendlr wants to grow into the social platform where connection is not a distraction, but a means to live consciously, purposefully and with more satisfaction. A place where you don’t disappear into the crowd, but find each other — and move forward together.
Friendlr gives back: contributing together to a better world.
At Friendlr, we believe that true happiness comes from connecting and sharing positivity. That’s why we want to donate a portion of our income to charities that align with our values and mission.
We don’t just want to donate – we want to actively involve you and our community. Our goal is to let users vote for charities and projects that they truly support via the Friendlr app. This way, we ensure that the money goes to initiatives that are important and meaningful to you and other users. For example, one of the following goals could be considered, although this may differ per voting round.
Together, we not only build personal happiness, but also a world in which we strengthen each other.
