3Degrees is a web-based platform that allows users to meet compatible people who share their interests and networks.

Social networks have evolved over the past 5-7 years, as people have logged their contacts, friends, activities and interests. 3Degrees leverages these connections to create new, trusted relationships.

The majority of relationships, whether romantic or friendly, start with an introduction from a mutual friend. Users can be proactive on 3Degrees, searching their friends’ friends for compatible connections. They can then reach out to a mutual friend for a “background check,” and eventually an introduction. Users can search their extended networks for things like a weekly basketball game, a potential boyfriend/girlfriend, a yoga class, local fans of Manchester United, or a reputable babysitter.

Whether you’ve moved to a new city and are trying to set up a new life, or you’re just interested in meeting new people and finding new hobbies, 3Degrees makes it easy to connect with compatible people in your area.
