Our story

We believe everyone deserves to belong.

WeBe was born from a simple truth: adults with developmental disabilities have the same desire for friendship, love, and community as everyone else — and they deserve a safe, dignified space to find it.

Our Mission

WeBe's mission is to create safe, supported pathways for adults with developmental disabilities to build meaningful social connections — friendships, romantic relationships, and community — while protecting their dignity and wellbeing at every step.

Our Vision

We envision a world where every adult with a developmental disability has access to a thriving social life, where conservators and guardians are partners in connection rather than barriers to it, and where technology serves as a bridge to belonging — not a source of risk.

For our community

Why WeBe Exists

Adults with developmental disabilities are among the most isolated populations in our society. Research consistently shows that social isolation leads to poorer health outcomes, increased depression, and reduced quality of life — yet the tools and platforms designed to help people connect were never built with this community in mind.

WeBe was created to change that. We built a platform that centers the needs, safety, and dignity of adults with disabilities — with thoughtful screening, conservator-friendly tools, and a community rooted in respect and dignity.

We work alongside families, guardians, case managers, and support networks because we know that connection is strongest when it's supported. WeBe isn't just an app or website — it's a community built on care.

What We Stand For

Dignity First

Every person on WeBe is treated with full dignity and respect. We use person-first language, design for accessibility, and never reduce anyone to their disability.

Safety Without Compromise

Our multi-layer screening, conservator tools, and dedicated safety team ensure that every connection made on WeBe is a safe one.

Radical Inclusion

WeBe is for everyone — regardless of disability type, communication style, or support needs. We design for the full spectrum of human experience.

Community Over Algorithm

We believe real connection happens through shared experiences, not just swipes. Our events, groups, and human-reviewed matches put community at the center.

Transparency & Trust

We are honest with our members, their families, and our partners about how WeBe works, how data is used, and how decisions are made.

Empowerment & Independence

We believe safety and independence are not opposites. WeBe empowers adults with disabilities to make their own choices — with the right support in place.
