MEET A FELLOW PARENT
Hi, I’m Jeremy—a local dad.
I’m also the founder of Fojut Ventures, where I build the infrastructure of connection: real places, shared experiences, and repeated opportunities that help people form relationships and push back against loneliness. I created Play Date to bring that work to families. Each gathering gives kids a natural way to meet other kids and gives parents space to connect, too. We’re starting one event at a time with a simple goal: turn first hellos into familiar faces and help local families build community that lasts. Questions are always welcome before you register.

THE PLAY DATE COMMUNITY LOOP
A first hello can become
a familiar face.
01 / CHOOSE
Find your first Play Date.
Pick a Social or Adventure, reserve your spots, and arrive knowing someone will be ready to welcome you.
02 / CONNECT
Meet one new family.
A shared activity gives kids something to do and gives grown-ups a natural place to begin.
03 / RETURN
Come back to familiar faces.
The real magic is repetition. Each gathering makes the room feel a little more like yours.
04 / WELCOME
Make room for someone new.
Once you feel at home, help another family make their first hello. That is how the circle grows.
A little play.A lot of possibility.
THE IDEA IS SIMPLE
Kids need friends.
Parents do, too.
Finding your people shouldn’t feel like another thing on the to-do list. We’re creating a little space for families to connect, through the things kids do best: play, explore, and be themselves.
New to the area? Looking to expand your circle? Or just ready for a shared adventure? There’s a place for you here.
