OUR STORY

A place where everyone can find their people.

In Good Company began with a simple belief: loneliness should not be the price we pay for adulthood.

Connection should feel easy again.

“Loneliness should not be the price we pay for adulthood.”

As we get older, making friends can become harder—not because anything is wrong, but because life changes.

Families grow up. Relationships change. Careers become busy. People move. Friends drift apart. Yet the need for real conversation, laughter and shared experiences never disappears.

I wanted to create somewhere people could arrive on their own without feeling awkward—a place where conversations happen naturally and everyone feels welcomed, included and valued.

Jen Stevenson welcoming people into the community

I’m Jen Stevenson, founder of In Good Company.

I saw funny, kind and interesting people feeling lonely simply because life had changed.

I understood that feeling. I have always believed the best memories are not only about where we went, but who we shared them with.

That is why I created In Good Company—not as a dating business and not simply as an events company, but as a community where adults over 40 can rediscover connection, confidence and belonging.

A genuine welcome

Hosts notice new faces, make introductions and create an atmosphere where arriving alone feels comfortable.

Connection without pressure

No swiping, forced networking or awkward expectations—just thoughtfully created opportunities to talk and connect.

More than one event

Each experience is an entry point into an ongoing community, not an isolated transaction.

Before you join us.

The questions many people have before taking that first step through the door.

Is In Good Company a dating service?

No. It is a friendship and community experience for adults over 40. People come to connect, try something new and build a richer social life without pressure or expectation.

Can I attend on my own?

Absolutely. Many people arrive alone. Events are hosted intentionally so you are welcomed, introduced and never left wondering where to stand or who to speak with.

Who is the community for?

Adults over 40 who want genuine friendships, confidence, new experiences and a supportive sense of belonging—whatever their relationship status or stage of life.

Do I need to be outgoing?

Not at all. The experiences are relaxed and structured gently so conversation can unfold naturally at your own pace.
