Connections evolve. Nothing is random. No coincidences. Right people, right place, right time. Some bonds may drift, only to strengthen when the timing is perfect. Hype was built on this truth. And now, the story comes full circle. A new chapter begins.
Social media is shifting from feeds and likes to real connections. Hanging out — whether through shared activities, events, or spontaneous meetups — is becoming the future of how we connect. Unlike passive scrolling, hanging out creates memories, improves mental health, and builds deeper bonds. Platforms that embrace this change will thrive in the experience-driven economy, where people value living over liking.
The Hype Manifesto is more than a handbook, it’s the DNA of who we are and why we exist. Hype is built to spark real human connection in a world that feels more digitally connected yet socially fragmented. Our mission is to empower people to live fully, discover experiences, and build meaningful friendships beyond the screen. Inside this manifesto, you’ll find our leadership principles, culture, and ways of working: we dream big, move fast, embrace risk, and measure success by impact, not effort. We champion transparency, accountability, and ownership, while fostering growth paths for every teammate. Our rewards and recognition system reflects our product itself, earned, shared, and celebrated. Above all, we hold ourselves to the highest standard of integrity, privacy, and inclusivity. This handbook is a living document. Every member of Hype contributes to shaping it, evolving our culture, and raising the bar together. Because Hype isn’t just a startup, it’s a movement, and this is just the beginning.
This October, Hype is joining Antler’s Riyadh Residency, an opportunity to connect with other visionary founders, explore potential co-founders, and pitch for up to $500,000 in funding. Stay tuned—we’ll be sharing updates, behind-the-scenes moments, and everything we learn along the way.
Meeting new people isn’t just social—it’s an investment in yourself. Expanding your circle brings fresh perspectives, opens opportunities, boosts mental health, and encourages personal growth. By embracing new connections and stepping out of your comfort zone, you can unlock learning, inspiration, and life-changing experiences.
This isn’t your typical blog launch. At Hype, we’re not here to write long essays, we’re here to spark real-life experiences. Think of this space as an open notebook filled with stories, hidden gems, and tips to make your hangouts unforgettable.
