About TreeByForest

Belonging, not popularity.

TreeByForest is a community networking app designed to help people build meaningful local connections when moving to new cities — whether you're an international student, a young professional, or a new immigrant.

The Problem

Every year, millions relocate — and arrive feeling invisible.

Language barriers, cultural differences and the lack of a social network leave newcomers struggling to find community. Traditional social media offers followers — not belonging. Making genuine local friendships is harder than ever.

Our Solution

Real friendships, not followers.

TreeByForest uses AI-powered matching to connect you with the right people nearby — through interests, languages, profession and local communities. We measure success by how welcome you feel in your new community, keeping you rooted in the people, places and experiences right around you.
