Fika is a Social Membership Club — the social wellness benefit that helps your people build real friendships, form genuine connections, and have a life outside work. Real introductions, real meetings, zero HR administration.
Companies that sign within two weeks of first contact lock in the current rate for two years — regardless of future price increases. This offer ends when the founding period closes.
Fika is a Social Membership Club that curates real introductions between compatible people — for friendship, connection, and everything that grows from meeting in real life — and arranges for them to meet offline.
Members complete a compatibility test. We identify compatible matches within their city. We arrange the meeting. The members show up, have a genuine conversation, and leave having actually connected with someone new.
Beyond curated one-on-one meetings, Fika also organises offline group events for members — often built around a shared physical activity like a morning run, a padel session, or a neighbourhood walk. The format changes; the idea is the same: get people off their phones and into the same room.
In 2024, the Swedish government identified ofrivillig ensamhet — involuntary loneliness — as a national public health challenge. Sweden leads the EU in the percentage of people living alone, and Stockholm has among the highest rates of social isolation among working-age professionals.
The research is unambiguous: chronically lonely employees are less productive, take more sick leave, and leave jobs at higher rates. Independent estimates put the lost productivity per affected employee at around six weeks of output a year — a cost that compounds quietly across an entire team.
It hits some people harder than others — those new to a city, working remotely, or without an established social circle report loneliness at noticeably higher rates. Which is why a genuine social life, real friendships and connections outside work, is part of the same picture, not a separate one.
Social wellbeing is the gap. No gym membership, team lunch, or company retreat has fixed it — because the problem isn’t at work. It’s outside it.
The flip side of the problem is the opportunity. When people have a genuine social life and someone in their corner, it shows up at work — in energy, focus, loyalty, and how long they stay. Fika is a direct investment in that: your team’s social wellbeing and the life they lead outside the office.
The 85-year Harvard Study of Adult Development reached a striking conclusion: social fitness matters as much as physical fitness. Harvard Health puts it plainly — strong social connections are as important to your health as proper diet and exercise.
Most benefits programmes already invest in the body: gym memberships, step challenges, fitness apps. Far fewer invest in the social side of health — even though the evidence puts it on the same level. Fika fills exactly that gap.
Connection and movement work best together — so Fika brings them into the same place. Alongside relaxed introductions over coffee, members are invited to active, social events designed to get people moving and meeting at the same time.
It’s a lower-pressure, higher-energy way to meet new people — and it doubles as the kind of physical activity wellbeing programmes are built to encourage.
You see how many seats have been claimed — nothing more. Fika never shares who matched, who met, or what happened. No names, no activity, no outcomes. The benefit only works when employees trust that it is genuinely their own — so that trust is built in from the start.
Loneliness is a measurable productivity and retention risk. Fika is one of the few benefits that directly addresses it — not with a webinar, but with a real human connection outside the office.
Share a redemption code with your team. That’s it. No procurement process, no onboarding calls, no tracking required. Employees sign up directly and handle everything themselves.
When a benefit genuinely changes someone’s life — helps them make a real friend, find a partner, build a social circle — they remember who gave it to them. That goodwill travels.
Tell us your team size, city, and any questions. Within 15 minutes of the call, Fika sends you an activation code.
Forward the code to your employees. Entirely voluntary. Employees download Fika and activate when ready.
You are only charged for employees who activate. 6-month and 12-month commitment options. Billed by invoice.
Companies typically spend between $150 and $1,200 per employee each year on wellbeing — with the median sitting around $600–750. Fika is positioned squarely in that range, because connection is wellbeing. The longer the commitment, the lower the per-seat rate: the 12-month plan is always the best value.
Corporate seats are billed semi-annually or annually. 6-month and 12-month commitments only. You pay only for employees who activate their membership code.
The membership is the foundation. A corporate seat gives an employee full Fika membership — this is how Fika gets to know them, curates genuinely compatible people, and arranges introductions. Everything that makes Fika feel considered rather than random lives inside the membership. It is the part you are buying for your team.
Tokens are how a meeting becomes real. When two members decide to actually meet, each spends one Token to confirm. That small step is the whole point. Meeting people has quietly become harder — not because people don’t want to, but because cancelling at the last minute has become normal. Commentators and researchers have described a growing “flake culture”: in an always-on, endlessly-rescheduled world, plans feel optional and no-shows carry little cost.
A Token puts something real on the line. It signals to the other person, I have actually decided to show up — and if you don’t, the Token is gone. When both people have made that small commitment, both people turn up. It is a quiet, dignified way to bring accountability back to meeting someone new.
Tokens sit outside the membership. Single tokens and 2– and 3–token bundles stay valid for 3 months; 5– and 8–token bundles stay valid for 6 months. Token subscriptions provide 3 tokens each month and reset monthly.
