About Us
One Word: Belonging
Us: “ChatGPT, what’s one word that describes when someone finds their circle of friends someplace?”
ChatGPT: “Belonging”
Horrified by the increasing loneliness and polarization in our society, which the Surgeon General likened to an epidemic with health effects equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day, we set out to solve the problem using technology.
The world needed a platform that helps people find belonging intuitively- small groups with a lot in common doing what they love together. Fueled by a suggestion algorithm and infinitely scalable. Usable by someone new to a city, or new to an organization.
The impact on society and individuals will be transformational- civil wars may be averted as masses of people with different faiths or political views are brought together around common interests like sports or serving. Longevity will be boosted as social wellness improves.
We are inspired by two examples from nature- sequoias and horses. Sequoias grow to be the tallest in the world by having roots that interconnect with the roots of their neighboring trees. Belgian horses are able to pull far more than double when paired with a second horse because they encourage each other, and the amount they can pull increases dramatically with the amount of time they've spent together.
What's the meaning of our logo? The K symbolizes different people and groups coming together beautifully, with some circles overlapping, and some adjacent.

Much better than expected.
Honestly, when I heard about this App I thought the last thing we need is another social media platform. Wasn’t impressed with another App adding to the noise. But…truth is Krew is quite different and brings value in a way that traditional social tools doesn’t. It’s a focused tool that facilitates real connections, in an easy to navigate and useful way. It also zeros in on what matters by focusing in on relevant events and networks. It’s ahead of its time and yet perfect for this era as a daily tool to navigate real life opportunities and connections. Highly recommend.

Life-Changing App for Building Faith-Based Friendships!
Krew Social has truly changed my life! Thanks to this app, I’ve met so many amazing, lifelong faith-based friends that I wouldn’t have connected with otherwise. The community is full of uplifting and supportive people who share the same values. The events are always a blast too! My personal favorite is rock climbing – it’s both fun and challenging, and a great way to bond with others. I highly recommend Krew to anyone looking to deepen their faith and friendships while having an incredible time at unique events!

10x your community
This app has blessed my life so much! I’ve met so many fun and interesting people that have become friends through it. It has, no kidding, 10x’d my community. It’s been so great to open the app and see fun hangouts where I can go be with people who enjoy the same things and have the same faith and values I do. It’s a real game changer! I highly recommend it if you’re looking to make friends, find community, and have a ton of fun!!! 🙌🏻

Awesome app to connect people!
This app is incredible, it's such a great way to build community and connection! I had plans that were canceled on a Saturday and I checked the krew app and within an hour I was going to a restaurant with a big group for an event. It really made my Saturday so much better and I really encourage you to check it out! It's easy to set up a profile and add people as friends and set up your “Krew.” 10/10!

Best Community building app!
The Krew Social app has been such a blessing for so many of us, including me! Not only is it user-friendly and fun to check out what’s going on in our church community, but it has allowed us to develop friendships, memorable experiences, and create meaningful connections with others who care about helping others and serving our communities in the Tampa Bay Area. Love you Krew!!

Best app ever
I love the Krew app, I was able to connect to so many like minded people from our church and join a lot of super fun hang outs. As an introvert it’s hard to connect in big crowds so Krew made it so much easier 🙌🏼. I also loved being able to create my own hang outs and have people asking for more, we all need community and Krew came to help solve this problem.

Best decision
Krew has been life changing for me. I joined last October and plugged right into people in my area and started attending hang outs. I’ve met some of my best friends from this app. Whether you are new to an area or just want to get out and meet new people this is the app! You don’t run into creeps or weirdos on this app! So thankful I joined.

Changed My Life
I have had many wonderful opportunities to volunteer to serve my community.
Great social time with genuine people to connect and build genuine friendships. I really changed my life in such a positive way. I would strongly encourage you to give it a try especially if you are living an active & sober lifestyle.

Love my Crew on Krew!
This app has been so helpful in getting a common place for all my friends and new friends on one place to check availability and create fun Christ centered events! I recommend this app to everyone I meet, especially those new to the area looking for their iron sharpening iron friends!

Great way to meet amazing people!
This is my first time using this app and it was such an amazing experience. I made lots of friends on the first night. We went bowling and it was a blast. There were almost 40 people at our meet up! Thank you for such an amazing experience!
