Pitch for the people you want to know

Pitch a Pal - Future Friend Edition

FormatPitches + Future Friend decks

Making meaningful friendships as adults can be strange, right? Especially if: you’ve moved countries your social circles changed your friends got busy you miss socially alive conversations or you simply want more interesting humans in your life. So we’re trying something different. Pitch A Pal: Future Friends Edition is a lightly structured social salon where people create short “future friend” pitches — not to sell themselves, but to express the kinds of friendships, conversations, adventures, creative collaborations, and social energy they’d love more of in life. Think: creative co-conspirators museum wanderers emotionally intelligent weirdos dinner party people deep-talk-and-dumb-joke specialists future chosen family people who actually make plans Participants can: create a Future Friend deck optionally share it live browse others’ decks resonate, connect, encourage, and ask questions or simply come socially curious. No speed dating. No networking. No performative LinkedIn energy. Just interesting adults, thoughtful prompts, social possibility, and a room designed to make connection feel a little easier. Low-pressure. Slightly experimental. Socially alive. *Note: If you already have a friend that you adore and want to introduce the group to, you're welcome to invite and pitch them, as well! But this event does center individuals looking for their initial favorite people here in Helsinki. Your contribution for this experience covers the venue costs and some thoughtful flourishes. Non-alcoholic drinks and snacks are available for purchase.

Decks in the room

There are multiple ways to participate — pitch someone you admire, share your own Future Friend deck, or both. No likes, no swipes, no judgement, no rankings — just resonance.

My decks

People you've nominated & decks about you.

Bring someone to the room. You can start and edit a deck any time — even before you've requested a seat. Your nominee approves it before it appears on the night, and only decks from approved, paid (or comp) participants make it into the live presentation.

Sign in to start a deck for this experience — you can draft it before requesting your seat.

Future Friend decks

Share your own deck — alongside the evening's pitches.

Make a small, honest pitch for the kind of people you're looking to find — to sit alongside the evening's pitches. No nominee or live performance required.

All social structures are welcome: friendship, relationship partners, chosen family, creative co-conspirators, activity partners — whomever you're looking for. No likes, no swipes, no judgement, no rankings — just resonance.

Contribution

A contribution, not a ticket.

Beyond their presence and pitches, most attendees will also contribute some amount toward the experience — helping to cover the cost of food, drink, photography, and a few thoughtful flourishes. For events with set costs, those actively participating as a pitcher or a nominee pay less.

€9.45 for active participants (pitching / being pitched) · €13.50 for observers (here to watch & meet people).
