Our Story – From Coffee to Connection

Rewind to 2017. Ulrika’s just moved back home to Stockholm from Silicon Valley. She’s ready to make new friends in the city—other women who dream big and are hungry for adventure. Little does Ulrika know, Claudia’s looking to leave her job as a police officer and return to her true passion: entrepreneurship. She’s full of ideas, but missing the right person to build with.

The two keep searching, asking and looking until fate brings them together. One fika later (think good Swedish coffee and buns), they’re bonding over the challenge of making friends in adulthood. It’s a lightbulb moment, and our founders jump feet-first into building Gofrendly.

We’re that friend who gets on stage at karaoke, and hands you the other microphone. We’re confident in trying new things and getting others to do the same because we know where it can lead.

Welcoming friends smiling – Gofrendly value of inclusion and emotional safety.

We make an art of hosting. We’re the kind of friend who offers you a drink the moment you walk in the door. We care about you, and want you to feel safe and happy here.

Cheerful women celebrating – Gofrendly value of fun and excitement in friendship.

Think of us as your cheerleader. We’re excited about where new friendship will take you. We’ll celebrate every moment of your journey, from the first friend-date to the monthly movie marathons.
