About nextbestie
Welcome to NextBestie 💕
At NextBestie, we believe that friendship should feel magical, effortless, and aligned with who you are — not just where you live or what you do.
We created this platform for the soft girls, the big dreamers, the creative loners, the introverted extroverts — anyone who’s ever said “I just wish I had a friend like me.”
NextBestie is your personalized friendship universe. Whether you’re new in town, craving community, or just over the small talk and looking for your people, we’re here to help you match with besties that actually feel like soul sisters.
Our quiz-based system and vibe-driven experience mean no pressure, no awkward DMs — just meaningful connections that start with compatibility and bloom into something real.
The best part? We’re just getting started.
Our Mission:
To make friendship feel intentional, inclusive, and effortless — like it always should have.
Why We Built This:
Because friendship apps were either too sterile, too shallow, or too chaotic. We wanted something with heart. Something that understands that women aren’t just looking for “someone to hang out with” — they’re looking for someone who gets it.

Hey bestie 👋 I’m Star Martin — a filmmaker, artist, and music lover from East St. Louis, Illinois, with a passion for deep conversations, storytelling, and creating spaces that feel like home. I have a degree in Film and Dramatic Arts, and when I’m not writing screenplays or belting out my next pop/R&B track, I’m usually dreaming up ways to make life a little more connected — and a lot more intentional.
The idea for NextBestie came during a major shift in my life: I moved away from my best friend of over 20 years. 💔 Suddenly, I found myself navigating the messy world of trying to meet new people who gave me that same safe, joyful, effortless vibe. And honestly? It was hard. Awkward. Exhausting.
So I created what I couldn’t find.
NextBestie is more than an app — it’s a love letter to platonic intimacy. It’s for every girl, every creative, every soul who’s been craving friendship that goes deeper than the surface. This is your reminder that your next best friend might just be a few clicks away — and she’ll get you, for real this time.
Let’s build your bestieverse together. 💕
