Introducing

Be Offline

The platform where people meet over curated experiences. Find people you'll vibe with at experiences you'll love.

Preface

For 3,00,000 years, humans thrived through one simple innovation: we gathered. Around fires, beneath stars, in great halls – we found ways to be together. We shared stories, broke bread, and built the foundations of everything we now call civilization.

We've come impossibly far. Our ancestors would marvel at our cities of glass and steel, at the rockets that will take us to mars, and at the pocket-sized devices that connect us to the world.

But we lost something fundamental: We stopped gathering. We lost the warmth of a shared laugh. The irreplaceable magic of being truly present, together, in the same physical space.

The average millennial has only one-third as many close friends as their parents did. We've mastered the art of being alone together.

We've built ourselves digital cages of infinite scroll and algorithmic feeds, mistaking likes for love and followers for friendship. Most of social media has turned into just smart people paying beautiful people to promote stuff to insecure people.

The Third Place

In the early 90s, sociologist Ray Oldenburg coined the term "The Third Place." A third place is a familiar public spot where you regularly connect with others known and unknown, over a shared interest or activity. "What suburbia cries for," Oldenburg wrote, "are the means for people to gather easily, inexpensively, regularly, and pleasurably - a 'place on the corner'."

We need these third places now more than ever. The cringe singles mixers and the forced networking events ain't it. A legend once said, "networking is like a fart. if you have to force it, it's probably shit."

The unavailability of these third places is not an infrastructure problem. Our cities are already filled with extraordinary people and experiences waiting to be discovered. Every coffee shop can become a town square. Every park picnic can become a village gathering. Every poetry night can become a tribal bonfire.

All these pieces of magic exist – they're just waiting for the right moment of serendipity. We're here to curate that serendipity.

Be Offline

Be Offline is where you find your people through shared experiences.

Our app lets you discover and book curated experiences where you'll meet new people who match your vibe. You can also connect with verified people interested in similar experiences on the app and book experiences with them.

At events, our IRL matching makes sure there's no awkward introductions and intimidating big groups, just naturally flowing conversations. And these connections continue in the app even after the event ends.

Behind every great experience are the curators and venues who create magic in the city – we give them the platform they deserve with powerful tools to manage bookings, communicate with guests, and build their brand, all while maintaining their unique vibe and quality.

How We Bring This Vision to Life

For Curators & Venues

We partner with the passionate community curators and venues who already create magic in the city. We give them a complete platform to manage their experiences, build their brand, and reach new audiences.

For Experience Seekers

Discover curated experiences, connect with like-minded people, enjoy our IRL matching at events, and build lasting connections that continue beyond the experience.

🎯 Our IRL Matching Feature

At events, you'll be matched in 1:1s or small groups of 3-4 based on your preferences. No awkward introductions, no forced networking, just organic conversations that flow naturally.

Are you winning, son?

Damn right we are.

🎯 Market Timing

We're in the right market at the right time. The experience economy is exploding. Bumble's share price being 95% down from 2021 tells us everything about the state of dating apps. Amid post-pandemic digital fatigue and the loneliness epidemic, being offline is the new cool.

🚀 Scalable Approach

Our asset-light, curator-first, quality-focused approach helps us win. Instead of single events, we partner with the best community curators and venues. This ensures consistent quality and easy scalability.

👥 People-First Platform

We're keeping people at the centre. It's not just about experiences, it's about the people you meet. Even after an experience ends, the people you meet stay with you on the app.

✨ Brand Experience

We're with the user at every step. Users associate the experiences with us, helping us create a premium brand and trust that benefits our partners.

The past, the present and the future

We are a small team of less than five people. We have been building and iterating over this for over a year now. We made MVPs and tested them. We got the feedback and iterated.

We partnered with existing experiences, we partnered with curators and venues, we did our own experiences and then after doing this over and over again, we reached to the current product.

At this point, we can confidently say we know what works.

We even tested individual features like IRL matching at multiple existing experiences. Nothing in the product is based on just ideas and hunches, every bit is built over user feedback and genuine insights from our partners and users.

🎯 Growth Strategy

  • • Partner with curators who already have audiences
  • • Natural word-of-mouth as people share experiences
  • • Built-in network effects: partners attract users, users attract partners
  • • Strategic referral programs and first-timer discounts

💰 Revenue Streams

  • • Commission from experiences booked through platform
  • • Premium user subscriptions with exclusive features
  • • Enhanced visibility for curators and venues
  • • Brand sponsorships for experiences
  • • B2B offerings for corporate team-building

With a huge market that's growing rapidly, a team with genuine understanding of the market and aligned at the level of vision and product, a product way superior than the competition, and good early traction, we couldn't have asked for a better start.

We're starting from Bengaluru, with the goal of scaling in all major cities in India and then go global. We're gearing up for our app launch. Join us in this journey and let's Be Offline.
