Today’s dads are more involved, more hands-on, and more emotionally invested than ever before — yet many still feel like they’re navigating parenting alone.
Between juggling work, family responsibilities, and the pressure to “figure it out,” dads are often searching quietly for something simple but rare: a place to belong.
The desire for dad groups, real conversations, local resources, and shared experiences is growing — and digital platforms like bttrfly are being built to meet that need head-on.
What Dads Are Looking For — And Why It’s Hard to Find
Across cities like Los Angeles, Austin, Chicago, and New York, dads are searching for:
- dad meetups and local support groups
- trusted recommendations for childcare, activities, and family services
- spaces where fatherhood feels seen, supported, and understood
- ways to connect with other dads nearby
But most parenting spaces online weren’t designed with dads in mind.
They’re noisy, overwhelming, or simply don’t reflect the realities of modern fatherhood.
Dads want a space where they can show up as themselves — without judgment, without expectation, and without having to filter out misinformation or unrelated content.
How bttrfly Is Being Built to Support Modern Dads
While communities inside bttrfly are still forming, the app is being intentionally designed as a family-first space where dads can:
- discover local dad groups and activity circles
- share referrals for family-friendly services
- support and be supported by nearby parents
- find resources relevant to fatherhood, wellness, and daily life
- connect with other dads experiencing similar challenges
We’re building the infrastructure for dads to find the belonging they’ve been missing — city by city, connection by connection.

Why Local Connection Matters for Dads
Dads don’t always say they’re seeking community, but the impact of connection is undeniable.
Local support gives them:
- confidence in their parenting role
- practical advice they can trust
- friendships rooted in shared lived experiences
- access to resources without the overwhelm
Most importantly, connection reminds dads that they’re not navigating fatherhood alone — and that in itself strengthens families.
A Village That Includes Every Parent
The modern parenting village has room for everyone — moms, dads, caregivers, grandparents, and chosen family.
And while the dad community inside bttrfly is still emerging, the foundation is being built with intention: a space where fathers can find connection, share wisdom, and feel supported in ways that traditional platforms haven’t offered.
🦋 We’re creating the space — and dads will shape the community.
