Hi!Five's Mission

(Minimum Viable Product)

Ever been in a situation where you...

Want to try a new café, but all your friends are busy?

Need another player for your street basketball game?

Want someone to travel to an event with?

Hi!Five

is the perfect app for you!

HiFive is a social app that allows users to initiate group activities with people nearby—in real-time.

Want to meet new people while doing an activity you're all interested in? Attending an event and want to find people to travel there with? Want to try a new restaurant, but need people to split the price of a meal with? Use HiFive to initiate an activity and find people nearby to join you!


What makes us special?

Unlike your typical social media app, Hi!Five is intended to help users make face-to-face connections in real-time. Activities must be initiated at most 12 hours before they're set to begin to reduce the chance of mind-changing. Users are able to remain anonymous for their own safety, and only need to provide a description of themselves when meeting up so other users can spot them. Aside from this, all information (other than the activity location and description) will be kept private.


  • Activity-Based (less feed scrolling, more human interaction)

  • Real Time (activities must start within 12 hours)

  • User Privacy (the only user data collected is emails and event locations)
