Connecting people for meaningful experiences since 2020
Mingley was born from a simple observation: everyone deserves quality companionship, but life's circumstances don't always make it easy to find.
In 2020, our founders Sarah and Michael met at a networking event where they both attended alone. They realized there was a gap in the market for a safe, professional platform that connects people seeking genuine companionship for events, activities, and experiences.
What started as a small community of trusted companions in Cape Town has grown into South Africa's leading platform for platonic companionship services, serving thousands across the country.
