Friends go by many names: childhood, lifelong, old, best, only, new. By any name, the importance of these meaningful connections is universal. Finding a true friend sometimes happens by chance, sometimes by design. Even in our ultra-connected world, seeking new friends can be difficult. With great care friendships grow and enhance life's journey. But how do friendships begin? Friendship has a proven positive impact on our mental, emotional and even physical health. The true value of friendship is nearly infinite. But why do friendships last? Xyla was born from the hearts and minds of our team to discover the science of friendship. Our mission is to help people find new friends, and to understand and deepen the friendships they already hold dear.
