Building a World of Effortless Connection
At Pulse, we believe friendships aren’t just important—they’re vital. That’s why we’re on a mission to cultivate meaningful human connection by making it easier to strengthen existing relationships and forge new ones.
Our Story
Pulse was founded by Eric Schlossberg, a software engineer and opera singer, whose life has been shaped by a passion for connection and creativity. Over the course of a decade, Eric lived in 10 cities across Europe and the United States, repeatedly facing the challenge of building new friendships from scratch. These experiences inspired him to create a platform designed to make connecting with others more natural and effortless.
Initially developed as part of a startup accelerator in Madrid, Pulse began as a dating app but quickly evolved as Eric recognized the potential for building deeper, non-romantic connections. Today, Pulse is headquartered in Portland, Maine, where the company is proud to be in residence at the Roux Institute, a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship.
What We Do
Pulse helps people rally their friends for spontaneous outings, meet new people, and turn casual encounters into lasting connections. Whether it’s strengthening friendships through shared in-the-moment experiences or meeting someone new, Pulse is designed to make meaningful connections effortless.
