Happn helps its users discover the people they have crossed paths with and that they would like to find again. happn started from the premise that we encounter dozens of people every day in real life, especially in large cities, without actually meeting or getting to know them. happn created the very first 100% mobile meet-up app to offer a facilitator to help its users to interact with those that already share a part of their world. On the street, at work, at a party... it could be anywhere. happn puts real life experiences first and favors everyday coincidenc- es. happn simply provides the answer to a universal desire: how can we find that handsome stranger again, the one we didn’t dare approach? The app gives users a chance, the chance to discover, to find a person that caught your eye, and to avoid missed connections.
