Hype
Detailed presentation
Hype is a dynamic mobile application designed to connect locals and tourists to authentic experiences while fostering community and inclusivity. With four categories: 1. Art & Culture 2. Sports & Leisure 3. Community & Solidarity 4. Nomad Spaces & Places Hype allows creators to promote their content, while offering users access to a curated selection of events, activities and working spaces. Acting as a two sided marketplace, Hype ensures quality control and easy booking, either directly or via external platforms. Our mission is to empower locals, enrich peoples’ experiences, and support community-driven initiatives.
The problem
Navigating through a multitude of options for finding events and activities has become a unique challenge for both locals and tourists. With the rise of local events, outdoor experiences, and flexible workspaces, the need for smart navigation tools is more urgent than ever. Hype steps in to bridge this gap, curating a rich mix of content from businesses, artists, and organizations, offering personalized experiences with accurate, targeted recommendations. Prioritizing inclusivity, Hype ensures that its content is accessible to everyone, including options for people with disabilities and those with pets. By strengthening community ties and promoting sustainability, Hype aims to enhance everyday life while leaving a positive social impact.
Our proposal
Hype enriches the lives of users and partners by addressing the challenges of discovering events and activities, filling gaps in personalization based on individual interests, and improving the visibility of local communities. It promotes integration, inclusivity, and sustainability, enhancing everyday life. Hype is a two-sided marketplace for events, activities, and workspaces. Event and activity creators can upload and self-manage their content, while Hype ensures quality control, optimization, and translation. Users can browse and book content directly through the application. Revenue is generated through commissions and subscription fees from our partners, while users benefit from a freemium model.
