# About Mesh

Mesh is a friendship app for meeting people in real life. Mesh helps adults make platonic friends through small, low-pressure group meetups at local venues such as coffee shops, breweries, and neighborhood spots.

Mesh is based in Madison, Wisconsin. Mesh was started by SLU alumni Izak Robles, Michael Orosz-Fagen, and Stuart Ray.

Mesh is not a dating app. It is built for people who want real friendships, local community, and in-person plans without swiping.
