In a world of more virtual interactions than physical, human connection is now more important than ever.

We believe technology best serves people when it leads their virtual world to physical one that's more connected, inclusive and authentic.

Create Connection

With the rise of the digital age, we’ve also seen an increase in loneliness. But we still need human physical connection. Connecting with others in real life (IRL) can improve our health and overall well-being. 

Champion Inclusivity

The beauty of local communities is in the different, valuable and important perspective everyone brings. We live and breathe diversity & inclusion as it creates better understanding and greater empathy, whilst reducing bias, judgement and conflict.

Promote Authenticity

It’s become harder and harder to trust what you see and read online as misinformation is spread to pretend and mislead. But we celebrate the authentic, unfiltered view of what’s really happening to reduce anxiety and help people feel empowered to explore new experiences with confidence.

Founding Story

We met way back in high school, when the idea of changing the world was just a twinkle in our eyes. As we ventured into our separate careers (Ando diving into the tech world and Ese tackling the financial realm as an investment banker), gaining invaluable skills and perspective, we never lost sight of our passion for human connections and making a difference. Little did we know that our individual paths were pieces of a larger puzzle, destined to come together.

Then, like a lightning bolt of inspiration, Happaning was born! We combined our unique skills, entrepreneurial spirit, and adaptability to create a platform that's all about connecting people and enhancing lives.

So here we are, partners in more ways than one, on a mission to change the way people experience the world around them. Our high school selves would be proud, and we’re just grateful to share the result of our purpose driven collaboration with all of you.

The values we live by

Make it happen

Happaning is all about solving problems and learning from them. We’re a team of action takers committed to the cause, so when we come up against roadblocks we’re quick to find and decide on a solution and keep moving forward.

Disruptive by nature

We know no bounds. We live by our entrepreneurial spirit, taking risks and learning from them as that it what it take when you are trying to achieve what has never been done. We think big, execute fast, and challenge the realm of possibility in order to make impactful waves.

Adaptability

It’s in our DNA to be agile. The tech landscape is constantly changing and we will be the ones leading the way. So when we need to change course, we do it because we are doers, not talkers. But when we act, we act purposefully and with impact.

Growth mindset

Happaning is all about solving problems and learning from them. We’re a team of action takers committed to the cause, so when we come up against roadblocks we’re quick to find and decide on a solution and keep moving forward.

Do the right thing

Integrity is what do you do when no one else is looking. We strive to do the right thing always, and openly collaborate in pursuit of the truth but above all, we do what we say we’ll do.

People first

We believe that technology should be designed with people in mind. Hence, we keep the end user at the heart of everything we do, crafting unique solutions that address real-life pain points with empathy and insight.

Happaning is the go-to platform for discovering and sharing real-time insights into events and locations around the world, using cutting-edge technology to bridge the gap between virtual and physical interactions. We aspire to make a positive impact on people’s lives by enabling them to

live more fully, connect more deeply, and experience more joy.
