Zolte: How to make friends and create a better social circle (2023)

Introduction: Being an adult and making friends.

Relocating to a new city as a post college adult is a unique adventure, with forceful but necessary opportunities for personal growth and discovery. However, it also presents the undeniable challenge of making friends as an adult with nothing but a blank slate. In this article we address, what seems to be an ever present sense of loneliness, ironically during a time when as a society we’ve never been more connected as a society. We’d also like to introduce Zolte, an innovative app positioned as a competitor to Bumble BFF and a refreshing alternative to swipe-centric platforms like Tinder. You know that feeling of wanting to see your favorite artist, going to the city for an evening drink, or wanting a friend to go on a last minute snowboarding trip up the mountain but you can’t find anyone? Yeah, we want to end that. Zolte is not just an app; it's a social connection companion designed to simplify the complex journey of making friends in a new city amongst other things.

Understanding the Loneliness Landscape

Loneliness, usually phrased and mutually excluded to solitude, is now recognized as a prevalent issue affecting everyone even with how connected we are in today’s age. Social media, with its promise of connectivity, oddly contributes to increased feelings of isolation.

Zolte: Rethinking Social Connection.

I was inspired to create Zolte because if I’m struggling to make friends, I’m confident there are more people facing this same issue.
