Our story
About
Hey Dad! exists to make it easier for dads to find support, show up, and build real friendships — online and in person.
Our mission
Parenting is a team sport, but a lot of dads end up playing it solo. We're building a calmer, safer space that helps dads connect through questions, groups, meetups, and messages — without the noise and performative vibes of typical social apps.
The goal is simple: make support feel normal, make meeting up easy, and make community something you actually use.
Origin story
Where did this come from?
Hey Dad! started with a simple question: “Where do dads go when they need advice — or friends — and don't want a chaotic internet thread?”
We kept seeing the same pattern: dads want community, but most platforms aren't built for it. So we're building one that is.
Built around real connection, not engagement metrics.
Clear guidelines, active moderation, and tools you control.
A calm interface that respects your time and attention.
