Bonobos co-founder Andy Dunn has launched a new social media app called Pie, designed to combat social isolation by helping users form real-life friendships. Inspired by his own struggle to make friends after moving to Chicago, Dunn created the platform to foster group-based social experiences powered by AI. Through acquired technology from Sparked Connections, Pie uses quizzes to match users with like-minded individuals for curated events like group dinners, trivia, or pickleball. The platform also supports community-building through events hosted by local “real-life creators.” After pivoting from one-on-one matchmaking to group connections, Pie has seen significant engagement, with over 50,000 monthly active users in cities like Chicago, Austin, and San Francisco. Dunn plans to expand the app nationwide and enhance its AI capabilities, aiming to bring people together in person—not just online.
