The best connections start in real life — in the same room, at the same event, face to face.

before helps you discover events in your city and connect with the people you meet there. Concerts, art shows, meetups, nightlife — whatever you're into, there's something happening tonight.

HOW IT WORKS

1. Browse events happening near you and find something you'd actually enjoy.
2. Go there. Check in with a quick QR scan when you arrive.
3. After the event, see who else was there. Found someone interesting? If they feel the same way, you're connected — and you already have something to talk about.

No algorithms deciding who you should meet. No swiping through thousands of strangers. Just real people you've actually shared a room with.

WHY BEFORE

Most dating apps start with a photo and a bio. before starts with a real moment — you were at the same concert, the same gallery opening, the same rooftop party. You already have context. You already have a story.

That shared experience is something no algorithm can manufacture. It's the most natural way to meet someone new: go do something you love, and see who's there.

Real life comes before everything else. Before the screen. Before the swipe. Before the algorithm. The moments that matter happen before you ever open an app.
