Founded in 2020 by Keyan K., Danial Hashemi, and Arman Roshannai, 222 positions itself as the “default social facilitator,” using detailed questionnaires and a proprietary AI model to match users into intimate dinners, drinks, and group activities. The goal is to maximize the probability of an in-real-life future by stripping away the friction of deciding what to do and with whom. While not a dating app, the service can connect people romantically if mutual interest emerges after an event. The product keeps technology largely in the background, surfacing only when needed to coordinate logistics. 222 is currently live in ten U.S. cities, including New York, Los Angeles, and San Francisco. The company focuses on driving meaningful offline engagement rather than screen time. To fund continued expansion and product development, 222 has secured a $10.1 million Series A; no operating metrics such as revenue or user numbers were disclosed in the announcement.
