HUMAN INTEREST GROUP, INC.
Hi is a paid, verified membership that connects people through shared interests — in the app daily, in real life weekly. Hi brings people into interest-based communities built around what they love — and every channel is both a feed and a scene: it aggregates the best content across its vertical, carries daily original content from the hosts and creators who run it, and turns all of it into real plans, real events, real people.
Home is the first space. Work is the second. Hi is the third space — the one you check every day and live out loud every week. Community-first, connection-second: a new category between social and meeting people that works better than either.
Every member is a real, verified human — no bots, no fakes, no anonymous crowds. Every community is run by hosts with a real stake in the room. And everything in the app is built to lead somewhere: a thread becomes a plan, a plan becomes a night, a night becomes your people.
No ads. No selling your data. No attention harvesting. Hi is member-supported, so we answer to you — not to advertisers. Other apps are built to keep you looking. We're built to help you find.
We're starting in New York, one community at a time, because real connection happens locally before it happens anywhere else.
The Daily Habit for Your Social Life.
Doors Open January.
Real people. Real interests. Real connection.
Verify who you are.
Every member is verified, so Hi starts with trust.
Choose what you love.
Join communities built around your interests — fitness, food, nightlife, music, wellness, culture, travel, and more.
Discover people through shared context.
Find people who like what you like, go where you go, and are open to meeting in real life.
Connect beyond the screen.
Make friends. Meet. Join a group. Go out. Meet up.
Hi is not built to keep you scrolling.
It is built to help you find your people — and actually meet them.
Verified humans only.
No bots, no fakes — a quick face check keeps it real.
Community first.
You belong to something before you ever "match."
Built for real life.
The whole point is to get off the app and actually meet.
Friends and more.
Come for the community; find friends, plans, and maybe the one.
