friendship, simplified.

01

pick your interests

Choose the things you're actually into — basketball, hiking, music, food, gaming, art. No curated grid. Just what you love.

02

stumble into someone

We surface people nearby who share your interests with a match percentage. No photos — your vibe does the talking.

03

connect for real

When you both connect, a chat unlocks. Join shared group chats, plan activities, and actually meet up.

The data is real

Vancouver has a loneliness problem. We're building the fix.

The WHO declared loneliness a global health priority in 2023. Vancouver consistently ranks among the hardest cities in the world to make friends — especially for 18–29 year olds.

what makes stumbl different

built different.

Every decision was made to build real friendships — not just connections you forget about.

01
01 · Looks don't pick your friends.

No photos

Matching purely on interests removes looks-based bias. Connect with people who actually share your world — not just people who photograph well.

Why Stumbl exists

built by someone
who felt it first.

01 · The arrival

I moved from Jakarta to Vancouver alone. No network, no history here — just a new city and the hope of building something real.

0%

of young adults in Vancouver report feeling lonely regularly

02 · The problem

Making friends as an adult is genuinely hard. You're not in school anymore. You don't have built-in proximity. Every social app is built for dating or networking — nothing is built for just finding your people.

18–29

the loneliest age group — most in transition, least infrastructure for friendship

03 · The fix

Stumbl is the app I wish existed when I arrived. For anyone who's starting over somewhere new, or just wants to expand their circle in a city that can feel isolating.
