We fell for the convenience of social platforms that gave us access to a whole new world of unlimited possibilities, where friendships, business connections and even love are only one click away. But are those things really only one click away? Think about it...

If it truly was so easy to create valuable connections online, then how is it possible that the average number of friends on FB today is 338, but the average number of “best friends” has decreased from 3 to 2, in the past 20 years? Why is it that 48% of people between the ages of 15-35 years, (60% of whom are constantly online interacting with others), say they feel lonely?

This is because online exchanges can never replace the time we spend with other human beings in person. It has been proven that face to face interactions enhance well-being, whereas isolation leads to anxiety and depression [source]. “There’s not a single exception. All screen activities are linked to less happiness, and all non screen activities are linked to more happiness.” Relationships can be maintained online, but meaningful ones are best created offline through the moments we share together.

And that’s why we work everyday. To give you (and all of us!) a chance to use technology for its main purpose - to make our lives easier and better. Whether you’re looking to meet new friends or you’re embarking on a networking journey, we are here to hit the road with you...one meetup at a time.
