Laterz Social is built specifically for one thing—friendships, pure and simple.
Unlock new connections, spontaneous outings, and real-time fashion advice.
Whether you're looking to broaden your horizons or simply find someone to hang out with, Laterz Social makes it easy to find people who add value to your life in ways you never expected.
At Laterz Social, we believe friendships are about more than shared interests or planned activities. Our platform brings spontaneity and excitement back into socialising, making it easy to meet new friends in innovative and enjoyable ways.
Some of the most valuable friendships in my life have been with people who didn’t share my interests. They introduced me to new perspectives and experiences that I never would have discovered otherwise, showing me that friendship is about expanding your world, not just staying in your comfort zone.
Laterz Social is built specifically for friendships—pure and simple. With groups, couples, and families baked into the design, it reinforces that friendships are at the heart of everything we do.
And because Laterz Social is focused on real connections, anyone using the platform for the wrong reasons will quickly stand out. This is a space for building genuine friendships and enjoying spontaneous social moments without any hidden agendas.
Fun, Safety, Inclusion. Laterz Social is dedicated to providing a welcoming platform where everyone can engage safely and enjoyably.
We encourage connecting with people from different cultures, backgrounds, and beliefs. It might feel scary at first, but finding common ground and expanding your view of the world is always worth the mental challenge. After all, people are people—and everyone needs a mate.
Running Laterz Social isn't free, but creating new friendships should be.
I created Laterz Social to be free for everyone because building friendships shouldn’t come with barriers—no matter how much money you have, everyone deserves a chance to find connection and support. But keeping the app running and improving takes time, effort, and significant costs.
We've been fortunate to receive valuable support from some of the biggest names in tech—like Microsoft for Startups and MongoDB—who believe in our vision and the benefits it brings to the community. However, we still need your help to continue growing and improving the platform.
Your subscription helps cover the ongoing costs of running the app—development, updates, and the essential services that keep Laterz Social alive. You’ll also unlock exclusive features, improving your experience while supporting the entire community.
Share Laterz Social with friends, colleagues, and on social media. The more users we reach, the more vibrant and diverse our community becomes - improving your experience with more mutual friends to connect with. Word of mouth is key to our growth, helping us reach people who could benefit from the platform.
If you enjoy using Laterz Social, leaving a review in the app store helps us gain visibility. Reviews attract new users and demonstrate that our platform is worth joining.
With your help, we can continue building an app that connects people, creates lasting friendships, and supports spontaneous, fun experiences. Thank you for being part of our journey!
“If someone is going through a tough time, and they find a mate to lean on because of my app, job done... the journey will be worth it.”

Laterz Social comes from real experiences—like freely opening my home to hundreds of travelers to learn about the world when I couldn't travel myself, to the mateship and camaraderie earnt from a decade serving in the military and seeing how hard it is for families to keep up with friends during constant moves.
Traveling makes it easy to meet people; you become fast friends in some far-flung corner of the world. Back home, it's not the same, but it should be. I created Laterz Social to bridge that gap
I started with a simple idea and not much else, creating a place where anyone can meet up, no matter where they're from or what they're into. It's about breaking the usual social rules and having a bit of fun together.
Learn more about how Laterz Social is designed by a veteran, for veterans, current serving members, and their families, helping them stay connected during and after service.
