I once tried starting something like this. What I found is that people have very little motivation to meet strangers for the purpose of friendship. Another company built a very similar product, but focussed on dating, and they did much better, while my product failed. Not to say that you didn't figure out how to do this, but I think there's wishful thinking among some founders (like me) that people want to make new friends and will use an app to do so.
