ByWhim: Socialize your daily life.
For people and businesses who value community—we help people ease out of their social bubbles and meet someone new.
We make it easy to meet the people right around you.
When you’re at a local venue or event, ByWhim matches you with someone already there who’s open to a shared moment, whether that’s a quick activity, a chat, or a micro-adventure. We help people connect more easily and help businesses build a more welcoming, community-driven space. Real connection, with no pressure and no expectations.
In our early stages, we are piloting our social Connection Labs for individuals and Connection Ambassadors (CAs) for businesses in venues across the Charlotte, NC metro area. Here's how they work:
For individuals: Connection Labs
1. Walk In and Check Out the Stations
When you arrive, you’ll see a handful of simple micro-activity stations around the room.2. Rotate Every Few Minutes
You’ll spend about five minutes with a partner at each station before moving on to the next one. It’s a bit like speed-meeting, but with tiny activities instead of awkward small talk.3. See How Fast You Can Connect
As you move through the room, you’ll talk with lots of different people. The whole thing is more of a social experiment than an “event”—a light, low-pressure way to see how quickly two strangers can find a spark of connection.
For Businesses: Connection Ambassadors (CAs)ByWhim Connection Ambassadors help your space feel more welcoming, social, and memorable without adding work for your staff.> A Friendly, Low-Pressure On-Site Host
Your CA is a warm, roaming presence who helps your venue feel more welcoming and engaging. They greet patrons, answer small questions, and—without interrupting anyone—create light social moments that make the space feel more relaxed and connected.> Optional Guided Social Moments
For guests who want a little more interaction, your CA can facilitate simple, optional mini-activities or pair-ups based on basic preferences. These are quick, playful, and designed purely to help guests feel comfortable. Again, this is never forced and always opt-in.> Guests Stay Longer & Come Back More Often
When a room feels warm and inviting, guests naturally linger, order more, and enjoy the experience more deeply. ByWhim helps create that atmosphere. People stay longer, leave with a great impression of your space, and are more likely to return and bring friends.
