Gofrendly is an AI-driven smartphone app that helps women find like-minded people, host and join group events, and form platonic friendships. The app personalizes connections using signals like common interests and stated reasons for wanting to connect. Founded in 2015 in Stockholm, Gofrendly serves about 250,000 users across the Nordics, with 65% of accounts belonging to women in Stockholm aged 20–35. A free tier is available, and users can upgrade for £3.99/month to unlock additional privacy and discovery features. To date the platform has processed nearly 11 million direct messages, facilitated roughly 4,600 coffee dates, created 2,537 friend groups, and organized 70 trips abroad. The company plans to use new funding to expand overseas, starting in the UK, and to further develop its product. Gofrendly operates a mobile app designed to make it easier for women to find new friends and expand their networks. The app has around 150,000 users and has emphasized smaller, digital-first activities such as book clubs and outdoor meetups to keep engagement high. Founders Claudia Gård and Ulrika Lilja report continued activity in the app through the year despite broader challenges. Gofrendly plans to use new funding to continue growing on the Swedish market and to prepare for international expansion. The company recently appointed Katinka Berg as CEO while the founders remain operational. In the most recently reported fiscal year (2019) Gofrendly had about SEK 2 million in revenue and a SEK 4.6 million loss.
