Happenstance

Expand your world. Meet new people.

Why?

A brief history of Happenstance

We created happenstance because we wanted to meet new interesting people, with no other purpose than sharing thoughts, ideas, and life experience. We had that burning desire to expand our world, and to discover the lives and adventures of other people we don’t know yet. Although internet is pretty great for finding jobs, dates, and old friends, there is no service that would allow us to meet some random people, who are obviously cool and curious just like you (and us).

With Happenstance, we want to allow everyone to meet someone new and different, but yet kind of similar. Maybe a teacher from Japan, or a student in Europe, or a traveler in Asia, or a journalist from Africa, or a gardener, or a dentist, or an archeologist, or a professional gamer, or...well you get it.

The possibilities are endless, and we cannot wait to meet all of you. Welcome :)

FAQ

1

It costs our hard labor but $0 for you guys.

What are the matching criteria?

Our algorithm connects people based on certain basic criteria in order to trigger conversations in more interesting ways. Background diversity, but also similar interests is what we're looking for.

What happens after the matching?

After you've been matched to somebody, you will receive an e-mail with the other person in copy. From this point on, we just disappear and let you discuss with your new pal.

What is the communication language?

It's universally accepted that English is the international language. Therefore, all the emails will start in English. Up to you to switch to another one if you want to.

We are two extremely curious people from Paris with very different backgrounds. A french guy with an economics background, and a Moroccan girl with an engineering degree.

What they say about us

"Connecting to people outside the Empire or the First Order has always been difficult. Thanks to Happenstance I met some great guys from far away galaxies. Talking about meditation and other way to control the force has been eye-opening"
- A Stormtrooper-

"I love Happenstance! It's almost as entertaining as an evening with The Mask!"
- Tina Carlyle -

"Teleportation is great, but it's still hard to meet new interesting people who don't want to destroy the universe. Happenstance solved this problem. I met a guy who taught me some crazy s*** with his light saber"
