Heyo

Meeting new people or making new friends as an adult can prove challenging, especially if you’ve recently relocated. Struggling to find a social scene that you connect with can lead to feelings of isolation or loneliness. New app ‘Heyo’ seeks to help with these issues. 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. It's not about how you look, but who you are. Matches are based on shared interests instead of profile pictures. By taking the emphasis away from appearances, Heyo allows users to focus on what is important, such as interests, beliefs, values etc. Connections made over these mutual interests and shared values are much more likely to lead to meaningful friendships. We encourage deeper interactions through insightful and entertaining conversation-starter questions. 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. The ultimate goal of Heyo is to connect nearby users based on shared interests, expedite the ‘getting to know you’ phase, and foster real world friendships.
