Where Community Elevates Life

come for the events. stay for the people.

Making new friends as an adult is hard—and it shouldn’t be. We created PARALLEL to make it easier to connect with great people navigating a similar stage in life, living similar lifestyles. If you’re in Los Angeles, don’t have kids, want to make meaningful connections and level up your social life, you’ve come to the right place.

Invest in your social health. Invest in you.

A COMMON experience

Let’s get real. For many in mid-life (30s,40s,50s) doing life without kids, there are a set of common experiences.

As friends get married, get busy raising kids, or move away, you want to connect with new people who share your interests, priorities & flexible lifestyle — those with time, discretionary income, freedom, and flexibility to hang out, minus the kid-centered conversations (though we love our friends with kids!)

You want to expand your social circle

You value experiences. You want to go hiking, try that new restaurant, or do something fun this weekend, but your current friends either aren’t interested or schedules don’t match. Do you skip it, go solo, or join random groups of people that aren’t in your age range or life stage?

You want to level up your social life and experiences

Three people sitting on a bench on a wooden dock, facing a calm body of water and a cloudy sky, with a distant bridge visible on the horizon.

Do you ever wish for deeper friendships rather than casual acquaintances? Maybe you know lots of people and have friends everywhere, but want a true “social home” — a community you can count on.

You’re LOOKING FOR connection and community

After climbing the career ladder and experiencing the first half of life, you’re thinking about how to approach the next chapter. You want to try new things and change up how you do life. Maybe you’re going through a mid-life reinvention, mid-life reflection, or even a mid-life crisis — regardless, you know you want to spend your time more meaningfully.

You want to elevate how you do life and want it to be meaningful
