New York· A private friendship membership
Good company.
On your terms.
Find people for the moments you want to share. Let AI learn what matters to you. Choose what anyone else gets to see.
Dinner
A calm meal, at a pace you both chose.
Quiet company
Time together, without the pressure to perform.
Culture
A museum, a show, or an afternoon in the city.
Travel companions are coming next.
An introduction
Your identity is not your introduction.
Shared details are chosen by each person.
A quiet dinner,
a promising connection.
You both chose a calm dinner and an unhurried conversation.
How it works
01
A short conversation
AI asks about your week, your pace and your limits. Skip anything. You approve what it learned.
02
A few thoughtful introductions
Up to three a week, each with a reason you both chose to share — never a score.
03
Five minutes, then decide
A short audio or video hello. You each decide privately whether to meet again.
Your information
What “private” means here
No other member sees anything you have not chosen to show them, per person and per intention. Our matching uses the answers you allow it to use. Anything you show someone can be remembered or captured on their device; revoking stops future access, not what was already seen.
- You choose what each person sees
- Chosen per intention, not once for everything
- Revoking stops future access
Before you meet anyone
Questions, answered plainly.
Who checks people, who you are introduced to, and what happens if something feels wrong.
What is Simurgsu?
A private friendship membership in New York. It suggests a few people a week who want the same kind of evening as you — a calm dinner, quiet company, or a museum or show — lets you have a short call with someone who also said yes, and helps you plan a meetup in a public place. It is for friendship, not dating.
How do you check that people are who they say they are?
Every member verifies their identity before they can see anyone or be seen. The check runs on Stripe Identity: a photo of a driver’s license, passport or ID card, and a live selfie that has to match it. The images stay with Stripe and are deleted when you delete your account; we keep only the result, an age band and a fingerprint that allows one account per person. If the automatic check fails, a person on our safety team can look instead. It confirms who someone is; it is not a background check.
Can I choose to meet only women?
Yes. You choose who you would like to befriend — women, men, non-binary people or anyone — and it works both ways: you are only introduced to people you chose who are also open to meeting you. Your choice is never shown to anyone, and you can change it at any time.
Is it safe to meet someone from Simurgsu?
Every introduction starts with a five-minute call, meetups are planned in public places, and you can keep your number and address private. The “Identity verified” badge means an ID was checked; it is not a background check. Our safe meeting guidance has the details.
What if someone makes me uncomfortable?
Every profile, call, chat and plan has Report or block. Reports are private and free, they go to our safety team, and the other person is never told who reported them. You can end a call or leave a meetup at any time, for any reason. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
