How it works
Tell us about yourself
Your core values, interests, and what you look for in a friend
Opt in weekly
Opt in before Wednesday 9pm, and we'll send you a friend match and tell you why we think you'll get along
Hang out!
We give you their email. You figure out the rest — meet up, grab coffee, and maybe touch some grass
We just opened the server and we're capped at 400 spots. 🤝
Instead of thousands of ghosted DMs, we're focused on 200 high-quality pairings for people who actually want to meet up. No bots, just real platonic friendships that will last.
Get matchedFrequently asked questions
You take a short compatibility quiz about what you value in friendships, opt in weekly by Wednesday 9pm, and we send you one friend match with a note on why we think you'll click. You get their email and plan the rest — coffee, study sessions, whatever feels right.
We use psychology-backed compatibility based on your values, interests, and what you look for in a friend to suggest one platonic match per week.
We use your answers and preferences only for matching. We don't sell your data.
Currently Stanford students with a stanford.edu email. We're expanding to more schools.
We verify .edu emails, encourage meeting in public, and provide reporting options. This is for platonic friendship only.
Friend Drop is free for students.
Nope — Friend Drop is 100% about platonic friendships. We're here to help cure campus loneliness and help you find your people, not dates.
Opt in only when you want a match. Skip any week. No pressure.
Our friend matches turn into real hangouts way more often than cold DMs or random events. Real connections, no swiping.
Friend Drop is an independent product, not officially affiliated with Stanford University.
Friend Drop is still at its beginning—we're building in public, and you might run into bugs or rough edges. If you spot an error, a glitch, or have any feedback at all (ideas, confusion, something you loved), we'd really appreciate you sharing it here.
