Hank

Hank is a digital community platform designed specifically for adults 55+ to combat social isolation and build real-world friendships through small-group outings and shared activities. The platform connects members with like-minded people and local activities, keeping groups to under 10 people per outing to ensure quality connections rather than crowded mixers. Hank partners with health plans and government agencies to deliver its social connection services. 75% of members report connecting with others more often thanks to Hank. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in New York, Hank raised a $7 million Seed round in June 2022 and was subsequently acquired by Wider Circle in 2024.
