GalPal is a women-only friendship app for Bangalore. Every member is verified by a real human on a phone call before they can interact with anyone. No swiping, no dating, no mixed-gender noise. You get matched based on what you're actually looking for. A gym buddy, a brunch friend, someone who also just moved to the city. Wave at someone, tell her why, and if she waves back, you're instantly connected. Also: curated local events, daily games, and icebreakers so nobody writes "heyy."











Not my demographic of course, but I see the use cases. My wife would love to connect with some new women in our city that are interested in more of what she is (entrepreneurship, art, etc). Any plans for gal pal to go global?
@derek_curtis1Β Yes, we never say never!
Starting in this city and expanding beyond country is the idea.
Thanks for writing in!
Say hello to your wife π
@derek_curtis1Β Aww this made our day, thank you (and your wife has excellent taste in hobbies).
Right now we're Bangalore-only and staying there on purpose. repetition only works if the same women keep showing up at the same small rooms, and that's easier to hold when everyone's in one city. If we go wider before we go deeper, it just turns into another app where nobody actually meets.
Global is on the list, not on the roadmap yet. But if you drop your city on the waitlist at galpal.in, we keep a map. When a city hits enough women who want the same thing your wife wants, we'll come build it there properly. No promises on timeline, just promises on not faking it.
Tell her hi from us. π
With Love,
Team Gal Pal
Build an app I wish I had when I moved to Banglore back in the day.
When you move to a new city and don't know anyone.
GalPal came into this world with a beautiful mission - to help women find their people in a city where everyone is either from somewhere else, buried in a startup,
And, for all those wondering why women?
Our research confirmed - women are 3x more affected by relocation. We're constantly scanning new spaces for safety before we can even think about connection. We build friendships through shared vulnerability, through being seen.
And there are plenty of apps out there to "make friends." Platforms designed for everyone that somehow feel built for no one in particular.
This one creates a safe women-only space for all those who want to open up, explore new fiends and be themselves a lil more honestly!.
The product, the design, the algorithm, the entire experience - all of it built with women in mind, from the inside out.
We manually verify every single profile through a video call (ofcourse that takes time, effort, and lotssss of energy), but you are worth it!
It's a small act of love for every woman who moved somewhere new and had to rebuild herself from scratch - without a map, without a person, without a soft place to land.
You deserved better then. We're building it now!!
With Love,
Your Gal Pal
Friendship isn't a matching problem. it's a repetition problem. The apps out there keep introducing you to new people. Meanwhile the same three women at your yoga class are already the friends you're looking for, you just never have a reason to text them.
galpal is built around that. Small recurring rooms. Same women, same places, low pressure. Chai this sunday. Pottery next tuesday. A book club that actually meets.
It's women-only. No swipes, no men, no "matches." Slow on purpose.
Bangalore-only and still very early. Come break it and tell us what's off π
