About TalkFrst
Real people. Real places. A more connected world.
TalkFrst makes it easier to meet interesting people in real life, by helping you find open, like-minded people in your surroundings. We believe in genuine encounters, spontaneous conversations, and a kinder, more connected world.
TalkFrst was founded by a group of friends who believe that the best things in life often start with a simple “hi”. In a world where we're more connected online than ever, we wanted to bring people together offline — in real places, for real moments.

FAQ
Questions? We've got answers.
How do I get started?
Set up your profile with a clear photo and a couple of conversation starters. When you're open to meeting people, switch yourself “on green” from the Green tab — nearby people who are also on green can then discover you. Head to the Map tab to find TalkFrst Corners and people nearby.
What are TalkFrst Corners?
TalkFrst Corners (also called Spots) are cafés, coworking spaces and other partner venues where it's easy to strike up a conversation. Check in when you visit one to earn Sparks, and look out for exclusive rewards at partner venues.
What are Sparks and how do I earn them?
You earn Sparks by going green, checking into TalkFrst Corners, having confirmed conversations, and inviting friends. Spend your Sparks on rewards offered by partner venues — the Sparks tab shows your balance and history.
Is my location shared with other people?
You're only discoverable while you're on green, and your exact location is never shown to anyone. In Profile › Privacy & safety you'll find visibility settings, blocking, reporting, and safety tips for meeting people in person.
How do I manage or delete my account?
Manage notification and location permissions from Profile › Notifications. You can update your info anytime from Profile › My information, and delete your account from Profile › Privacy & safety.
