Hi HN, I’m the founder of Junto.<p>I’ve personally struggled with maintaining close relationships in the past couple of years. With WFH becoming the norm in the tech industry, friends moving away, and the general fickleness of adulthood, I found myself deprived of fulfilling friendships that I once had.<p>I figured, in such a vibrant metro as SF, there must be people who I could be great friends with. Why was it still so difficult to reach them?<p>Meeting new people, especially as an introvert, can be a stressful experience. Not only are random meetups stressful, they’re very hit or miss in terms of compatibility.<p>Junto is an attempt at making the process as easy and reliable as possible. You’ll get to meet people who you’re likely to get along with, on your own terms. I chose to launch in SF, which is not only where I live, but where this problem can be felt most deeply.<p>If this resonates with you, consider becoming part of the first cohort of members. You can also reach out to me personally at hello@juntosf.com. Any feedback or criticism is greatly welcomed!
