Zero Social is a community based app for meeting new people. Pet adoption, friendship, dating, marriage, mentorship, professional networking, a gym buddy, sports partner, artists, introverts, a travel partner, your next co-founder or GenZ hire. Join the communities you belong to, pick why you are there, and connect one to one with people looking for the same thing. Nothing that decides whether you actually meet someone sits behind a paywall. START WITH A COMMUNITY Everything begins with communities, built around your city, your interests and your identity. Cities: Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Dubai, London, Singapore, Toronto, New York and 1000+ more Interests: fitness, sports, travel, books, music, food, gaming, startups, art Identity: women only, introverts, LGBTQ+, single parents, faith and religion, pet parents, introverts, artists, entrepreneurs, influencers. Join as many as you like. Nobody is only one thing. THEN PICK WHY YOU ARE HERE Every community runs its own matchmaking, so you are never matched for the wrong reason. • Friendships. Real friends near you, no agenda. • Dating. Casual to serious, intent stated upfront. • Marriage. For people actually looking to settle down. • Professional networking. Tech, law, medicine, design, finance and every other profession. • Mentorship and internships. Learn from someone a few steps ahead. • Fitness partner. No more solo gym sessions or solo court time. • Travel partner. The world is better with the right person. • Activity partners. Hiking, running, chess, pottery, whatever you keep postponing. • Women only matchmaking. A safe space for female friendships, solo travel and support. • Single parents, dog adoption, causes and volunteering, and more. New matchups get added all the time. Suggest one and we will build it. DETAILED PROFILES, NOT JUST PHOTOS A separate profile for each goal, because your dating profile is not your work profile. Written answers, real photos and clear intent, so you know someone before you like them. Every profile is reviewed by a human. Verified people, no bots. MATCH, THEN TALK When you both say yes, the chat opens and you can talk right away. Unlimited likes, unlimited messages, no request queue, no paying to reply. GROUP PLANS TOO Host or join plans inside your community. A run, a dinner table, a weekend trip, a reading circle. WHY WE BUILT THIS Loneliness became a business model. Apps and offline events treat it as a money making machine. We are building the opposite of that. The very basic essence of connecting with other humans, simplified and free. So these are free: unlimited swipes, unlimited messages before matching, see who liked you, advanced filters, passport mode, AI suggestions and a transparent algorithm. One flat optional subscription helps cover our server costs. No micro transactions, no boosts, no ads, no dark patterns. PRIVACY AND TRUST Your data is yours. Our policies are written in plain language, not jargon. We do not sell your data and that is written into our legal terms. Delete your account and everything in it with one tap in Settings.
