Between work, errands, and just being an adult… making friends got hard
Between work, errands, and just being an adult… making friends got hard

Whether you’re in an office or working from bed, days slip by without a real conversation (unless you’re counting your partner, your dog, or your Uber driver).

Every attempt to reconnect turns into scheduling gymnastics.

Someone’s busy. Someone’s traveling. Someone’s “down, but maybe next month.”

Your life looks full… but it doesn’t feel full.

You’ve got work, routines, errands... But not many people who actually know what’s happening in your head or your heart.

You’re not short on interests; you’re short on people who want to do the same things.

Most of the experiences you’d love to try end up staying on your “someday” list simply because there’s no one to share them with.

Social media makes you feel connected… until you close the app.

Likes, DMs, and story replies give you a five-second hit, then the screen turns off and the silence hits.

Are You The Problem?

Everyone’s more connected than ever… But somehow lonelier than ever.
Everyone’s more connected than ever… But somehow lonelier than ever.

Between screens and remote work, it’s no wonder finding your people feels impossible.

Loneliness became an epidemic

Loneliness affects mental health, physical health, and even longevity... Yet most adults say they don’t feel deeply connected to anyone outside their partner or family.

Screens replaced real moments

We spend hours “connecting” and scrolling online, but you know that the TikTok For You Page is not the same as someone actually laughing beside you.

Natural connection points vanished

Remote work and the classic “one more episode” replaced the little in-between moments... The hallway chats, the after-class hangouts, the accidental friendships that used to just… happen.

And somewhere along the way… we blamed ourselves

The more disconnected life feels, the easier it is to think you’re the awkward one, when really, the modern world just isn’t built for easy, natural friendship anymore.

Our Solution

Unfortunately, friendships don’t just appear out of thin air…

HeyInterests gives you the one thing modern life took away: an easy way to find the right people. With dozens of interest groups to choose from, you’re finally walking into rooms where the energy matches yours.

And before you know it, life starts feeling juicier again… coffee catchups, hikes, shared playlists, late-night talks, laughter that actually fills your chest.

How It Works

Connection shouldn’t be complicated, so we made it simple.

Go From Shared Interests to Real Friends in 3 Simple Steps

01

Tell us what you’re into

Create your profile and share the things you genuinely enjoy. Coffee, hikes, pottery, live music... anything that lights you up.

02

Matched in small groups

Set your criteria and get placed in a small group of 6 based on your interests, age and location. Don’t vibe with the group? Leave anytime.

03

Chat, connect & meet up

Join the chat, plan activities, and build real friendships or deeper connections - all starting naturally within your shared groups.

Big meetups feel chaotic. One-on-one feels intense. Small groups are the sweet spot.
Big meetups feel chaotic. One-on-one feels intense. Small groups are the sweet spot.

Small groups mean you’re not dropped into a 200-person chat wondering if anyone will notice you typed “hey”. Here, you’re actually part of the conversation, not the background noise.

The awkwardness drops instantly when you realise everyone else is also looking for their people. No cliques, no trying to “fit in” to a group chat that’s been alive since 2017.

There’s no performative dating-app pressure. No perfect bio, no curated photos, no overthinking the first message. You just show up as you, and it’s enough.

Conversations start easier because you already have common ground. Hikes, ceramics, live music, brunch, books… you don’t have to manufacture a personality from scratch.

The friendships you’ve been craving? They’re closer than you think.

With HeyInterests, your world opens up - warmer, fuller, and a lot more fun to be in. Here’s what starts happening:

Find people you can genuinely be yourself around

The real you, not the polite, HR-approved version. People who can handle your big thoughts, weird hyperfixations, and the tiny things you genuinely care about. No “I hope I’m not being too much.” You’re finally around people who get you.

Have friends who want to do the same things you want to do

Concerts, pottery classes, hikes, new cafés - the stuff your old friends say “sounds fun” but never commit to. No more dragging someone who’d rather be home. Just people who already live for the same things.

Explore hobbies you forgot you loved, without the sad solo energy

You finally start doing the things you told yourself you’d try “one day,” and it doesn’t feel embarrassing because you’re not doing it alone. Old passions wake up, new ones show up, and suddenly your week has a plot again.

Feel your world get bigger than work, screens, and routines

Your days stop blending into one long loop of emails and scrolling. You’ve got people to explore with, people who make your city feel less like a place you “live” and more like a place you experience. Life starts to move again… instead of just passing by.
