About Found by Friends
Discover amazing places through the people you trust most - your friends.
Found by Friends transforms how you discover places by making it personal. We believe the best recommendations come from people you know and trust, not algorithms or anonymous reviews. Our platform creates private groups where friends share their favorite spots, creating a curated map of places that matter to your community.
Our Core Values
Your places and recommendations stay within your trusted circle. No public profiles, no data mining, just private sharing with friends.
Every recommendation comes from someone you know. No fake reviews, no sponsored content - just genuine places your friends love.
Build your own communities through invite links. Each group is unique, reflecting the tastes and discoveries of its members.
We keep things simple and intuitive. No complicated features, just a beautiful way to share and discover places with friends.
