Mission Short

Connect people with the cultural and social heartbeat of their neighborhood through an app that centralizes local events, fosters collaborations between venues, and rewards community engagement.

The Challenge

Today, people struggle to find what’s happening in their own neighborhood. Events are scattered across social media and website, making local discovery fragmented. At the same time, small businesses and cultural spaces lack a unified channel to promote their events or collaborate with others. This reduces community interaction, limits economic opportunities for local venues, and leaves residents unaware of the vibrant experiences around them.

The solution

The Hang is a mobile app that unifies all local events into one interactive map, showing what is happening near you right now. Users can interact with friends and catch discounts for the events. From the business side, cafés, bars, and cultural spaces can easily publish events, collaborate with nearby venues, and offer cross-discounts. By connecting communities, The Hang transforms neighborhoods into dynamic cultural networks.
