Pilot in Madrid · For families, run by adults

We help your child find their crew, not a one-off contact.

TRIBU connects families who live nearby so they can meet in the real world, make plans and see that relationship grow over time.

Open TRIBUHow it works

More than an app: a community.

What is TRIBU?

TRIBU is an app for families who want their children to have a group of friends close to home. Each family describes their child – nickname, school year and interests, never a photo or their full name – and when they have free time. With that, every week TRIBU suggests up to three like-minded families from the same neighbourhood, explaining why they’re a good match and without any scores. The adults talk to each other in a private chat, make plans in parks, libraries or on nearby routes and, once they’ve met up several times, they form their crew. Children never have an account: everything is managed by a responsible adult who is verified with their school’s code. TRIBU is a pilot in Madrid, in the districts of Fuencarral-El Pardo, Hortaleza, Vicálvaro and Villa de Vallecas, and it works in the browser on your phone or computer, just like an app.

The journey of a tribe

We don’t generate endless matches. We walk alongside you on a journey that ends in real friendships.

  1. Discover

    You tell us what your child is like – nickname, school year and up to three interests – and when you’re free. No photos and no full name.

  2. Form your tribe

    Every week, TRIBU suggests up to three like-minded families from your neighbourhood, with clear reasons and never a percentage. No swiping.

  3. Connect

    The adults, already verified, talk in a private chat.

  4. Meet up for real

    You make a plan close to home: a park, a library, a bike ride. With a set number of places, a recommended age and in-person check-in.

  5. Grow

    When several families meet up again and again, a crew is born: their own group for making plans and chatting.

Designed with safety first

  • Children never have an account or log in.
  • Every child belongs to a responsible adult. To chat or meet up, that adult is verified with their school’s code.
  • No photos of minors: each child is represented by a sticker.
  • No public profiles, no exact or real-time location, no swiping.
  • No rankings, likes or scores between children.
  • Messages are only between adults.
  • You can download or delete all your data whenever you like, and protect your account with two-step verification.

Matches come from what each family tells us: ages, interests, availability and neighbourhood. They are not a psychological measure.
