About simurgsu
Good company,
on your terms.
simurgsu is a private friendship membership in New York. We help adults find people for the moments they’d rather share: a calm dinner, an afternoon at a museum, a show, or simply quiet company without the pressure to perform.
- Now open in New York
- Up to three introductions a week
- Private by default
Why we started
We started simurgsu because meeting new people as an adult has quietly become hard.
Most apps turn connection into
- a feed
- a score
- a numbers game
We wanted something slower and more considered,
closer to being introduced by a friend who knows you well.
How we work
Every membership begins with a short conversation.
- 01
A short conversation
Our AI asks about your week, your pace, and your limits. You can skip anything, and nothing it learns is used until you approve it.
- 02
A few thoughtful introductions
Never more than three a week, each with a reason you both chose to share, and never a ranking.
- 03
A five-minute hello
A five-minute audio or video hello comes first, before anyone makes plans.
- 04
Each of you decides
Afterwards, each of you decides privately whether to meet again.
Privacy is the product
Your identity is not your introduction.
- No member sees anything you haven’t chosen to show them.
- You decide per person and per intention, not once for everything.
- Our matching only uses the answers you allow it to use.
- If you change your mind, you can revoke access going forward.
Where we are
Starting in New York.
We are open in Manhattan and nearby Brooklyn, and only offer membership where we can make real introductions. Travel companions are next.

Why “simurgsu”
The company you were looking for.
In Attar’s Conference of the Birds, a flock of birds sets out to find the legendary Simurgh. Only thirty complete the journey, and they discover that they themselves, together, are what they were looking for (si murgh means “thirty birds”).
We like that idea: the right company was never somewhere far away. It was the people you had yet to meet.
