We're reconnecting people, one real conversation at a time.
We've never been more connected online — or less connected in person. 5 Degrees is a movement to fix that, bringing people together face to face to build real relationships. And it's just getting started.

We didn't stop wanting connection. We stopped bumping into each other.
Work moved home. The places people used to meet without trying — the office, the gym, the sidelines — got quieter, and social media filled the gap with something that only looks like connection. Meeting people takes intent now. That's what 5 Degrees is for.
A simple idea with a big mission.
5 Degrees hosts small, guided in-person events where people actually connect — not swipe, not scroll, not small-talk. A little structure, a little technology, and real relationships form. Every event grows the web a degree wider.
Meet Anne Casey
Spend five minutes with Anne and one thing is clear: she's a doer. Where most people just notice how hard it's become to meet anyone new, she's out running events and putting real people in the same room — because that's where strangers become friends.
She cares — genuinely and intensely — about people and connection, and it shows in everything she builds. Just as importantly, she knows she can't do it alone, and she doesn't try to. She surrounds herself with talented people and brings them along, which is exactly what turns a good idea into a real movement.
