About
FirstHello in a Nutshell
Think about all the great achievements that people have made possible; from city structures, to great inventions, to sport teams, to space exploration, to entertainment, and to simple laughter and fun. Now think how many of those achievements and experiences required partnerships, collaborations and friendships between people who shared a common goal or a particular interest. In one way or another, all of them required connections with other people – an artist to an agent, an architect to a land owner, a guitarist to a drummer, a tennis player to another tennis player. Put simply, making connections with people defines who we are, and making these connections a whole lot easier is at the core of FirstHello.
The idea of FirstHello was born out of the realisation that every day we miss plenty of opportunities to meet like-minded people who share some of our interests. These people are our fellow commuters, our colleagues in different departments, the runners passing us on the river bank, passengers on a plane, and spectators at a rock concert. They might be just like us; they might have the same hobbies and interests; but there’s no easy way to say hello and find out. We created FirstHello to turn these missed opportunities into opportunities to say hello… to meet all these like-minded people around us who share our interests. In our view, life’s too short to waste good first hellos!
We designed FirstHello to be the type of app we, ourselves, would feel comfortable to use when we’re out and about, without revealing all our personal details to the world, and without selling our information for advertising purposes. That’s why we only ask for information that we absolutely need in order for the app to do its job. You’ll quickly realise this fact when you sign up to the app.
As we see it, life is built on the first hellos we make, so why not make these opportunities as effective as possible with FirstHello!
