What does it do?

Heyo is an app for meeting like-minded people nearby. It’s like Tinder for friendship, but you’re matched by your interests rather than your photos. It’s designed for expats, travellers, international students or anyone who has relocated.

Why do we need it?

Matches are based on shared interests instead of profile pictures. By taking emphasis away from appearances, Heyo allows users to focus on what is important, such as interests, beliefs, values etc – leading to more meaningful friendships.

Who is it for?

Perfect for expats, international students, travellers or anyone moving to a new city. Find your ideal friends, travel buddies, collaborators, teammates, business partners, playmates, mentors, band members and more.

What makes it stand out from the crowd?

When you connect with another user, you choose from four thought-provoking questions to get the ball rolling. Conversations begun this way tend to be much more engaging and it’s faster to uncover common values and interests.

When and how are you opening up your beta to new users?

Heyo is currently available for public beta on iOS via the App Store.

When do you plan on launching?

End of June 2017
