Founding Members

Be here
before the grove fills up.

Grove is a community app for gay men built around real connection, not transactions. We're launching with a small group of founding members who believe in what we're building — and want to be part of it from day one.

"Every gay app that exists was built around transaction. Millions of gay men are hungry for community. Grove is built for them."

Grove isn't a dating app. It's a community. Real events called Groves, a Places map showing every LGBTQ+ space in your city, direct messages, and a vibe system that tells everyone in your event what kind of connection you're open to. Not just "looking for friends" in a bio nobody reads — a color on your avatar that says where you're at, so the right conversations can actually happen. No guessing. No mixed signals. Just people, showing up.

Questions from the grove

How do I purchase?
Click your chosen tier button. You will be taken to a secure Stripe checkout page. Once payment is complete, your founding member status is confirmed. No account is needed to purchase — you can link your membership to your Grove account when the app launches.
Can I upgrade later?
Yes. Sapling members can upgrade to Root at any time for $80 (the difference). Root members can upgrade to Canopy at any time for $150, as long as Canopy slots are available. Email hello@findyourgrove.app to arrange an upgrade with your original purchase email.
What if Canopy sells out?
Join the Canopy waitlist. New spots unlock as Grove expands to new cities and reaches community milestones. Waitlist members are notified by email when spots reopen.
When will I get access?
Grove is in active development. Founding members get early access before public launch. We will email you at your purchase address when access is ready.
Is this a subscription?
No. All founding member tiers are one-time payments. Root and Canopy include lifetime Grove+ (no ads, ever). Sapling is a support tier without the Grove+ benefit.
