Why you belong here

It’s easier, safer, and more fun to meet new people when you’re not doing it alone. Show up confidently and comfortably with the person who’s always got your back... inside and outside of the group chat.

Whether you make new friends, have a meet-cute, or simply share an experience with someone you already love spending time with, PlotTwist makes it easy to feel genuinely connected to others.

When circles overlap, it unlocks the unexpected. You meet people you wouldn’t normally meet, your world expands, and where you live starts to feel like a real community, not a collection of strangers.

Experiences that are more social, less pressure,
and destined to become core memories

How PlotTwist Works

  • Young single woman smiling and flashing a peace sign at a party or nightclub, with a vibrant, colorful background.

  • A digital interface showing a dating app with profile of Rachel, who wants to team up. There is a prompt about being stranded on an island, a button to add a new team, and a message to team up with friends.

  • A social media dating app screen showing match profiles of Jon and Andrew, both 29 from New York, NY, with photos of friends laughing and enjoying social moments, and a message saying "like your team" and "Match with other pairs of friends."

  • Group chat on a smartphone screen with messages about a pickleball game and social plans, labeled 'Group chat and make a plan' at the bottom.

A letter from the founders

Hi Friends,

We’re Danielle and Julie, cofounders of PlotTwist, healthcare providers (Danielle is a nurse practitioner and Julie is a physician assistant), best friends from college (WE ARE Penn State), and yes, also two people looking for community. So, just know: WE GET IT.

We know what it’s like to live in the most populated city in the United States and to still feel lonely. To want to chime in with that group of friends laughing in the elevator, but to look down at your phone instead. To bookmark every trivia night, open mic, book club, and kickball league seen on TikTok, but to chicken out at the last second because you don’t want to go alone.

BUT we also know this: when we’re together, we never fear saying yes to anything. And this “yes” mentality is what leads to the loudest laughs, the most unbelievable stories, and the richest feeling of human connection.

Life should feel social, fulfilling, and safe. It should be full of unexpected plans, connections you didn’t see coming, and core memories with your favorite people. That’s why we built PlotTwist. Because when you show up with someone who feels safe, you’re suddenly free to meet people who are new and your world expands in both directions: closer to the people you love and deeper into your community.

We’re building PlotTwist because we’ve made it our mission to give every person the confidence they need to feel plugged into their community. We’re building for a world where social circles overlap, people mix freely, and everyone feels like they belong.

Lastly, we just wanna say: to the lifelong friends we’ve met through PlotTwist - we adore you, to the guys we’ve double dated through PlotTwist who are forever part of our single life lore - we love you (even if you didn’t love us back... your loss, tbh), and… to the people we haven’t met yet but will because of PlotTwist - we’re ready when you are.

With love,

Danielle and Julie
