Our mission is driven by our
personal experiences
FOUNDED BY
NINA DE GRAAF & SILA UYGUN FIDAN
After5 began from our personal challenges to connect with like-minded women. Coming from The Netherlands and Turkey, we each moved abroad for studies and careers, facing the challenge of building new friendships. With no clear solution, we took matters into our own hands—to solve this not just for ourselves, but for countless women.
we are proudly building for women
With the right people around you, you can built the life of your dreams. Having strong friendships is so important because it affects so many aspects of our lives - on a personal level, our careers, even our health!
After5 is all about being able to create your best life in your own terms.
Friendship & connection are the core and foundation of our company.
No really! Before we were co-founders we were (and still are!) friends for over 10 years. We are building the go-to platform for ambitious women to make new friends! Women crave female connection now more than ever... and we are here to make it happen!
Before starting After5, Sila worked at GTM functions in several Tech & AI companies and lived in Sweden, Turkey, Spain and The Netherlands.
Nina worked in fashion & marketing and lived in 7 different countries, amongst others Turkey, China, Thailand
