An Invitation to Join Presence — A New Way to Connect

A month ago, Presence began with a simple question at the Hack Mental Health Reverse Hackathon in San Francisco. How can we form deeper connections in a world where we communicate through screens? How can we overcome a digital culture that limits building relationships naturally through what really brings people together: community and values?

Presence was founded on the principle that the world can be a more present place. We focus on helping people build authentic connections within their community, one experience at a time. We take the difficulty out of finding the special spots or amazing activities that bring you closer together with others who share your interests and values. If you’re interested in a personally curated event to meet new people nearby, we’d love for you to join Presence!

Here’s how it works:
1. Take a short quiz to let us know your personality and interests
2. We curate a gift for you: a fun experience with new friends who share your values
3. Enjoy your present and make new connections!
4. Send a thank you to your group for gifting you with their presence, and let us know who you want to meet up with again.

The best part: the event is a surprise until the day before! We take care of all the details — all you need to do is show up and bring the gift of your presence.

Find out more about us and build your profile at www.thepresence.club. We’re currently looking to organize events for the months of July and August, and we look forward to seeing you there!
