Yaroslava Bilous - Kinetica
Connect and create with Kinetica, a social event platform that bridges the digital and physical worlds.
It offers opportunities to meet new people through creative, hands-on activities, encouraging young adults who may struggle with loneliness and endless scrolling to step away from screens and get involved. In a low-pressure environment, users can explore hobbies, build confidence, and form meaningful connections that can grow naturally.
It is user-experience oriented, with a clear goal to motivate event attendance by reducing common barriers such as anxiety, uncertainty, and lack of motivation. The app addresses these issues with three key features: a matching system with other attendees of similar personality types and interests, a reward system, earning badges and custom items for avatar customisation that encourages commitment, and finally, moderated group chats and descriptive information that helps reduce uncertainty and distrust. These features will lower your worries and help you explore your creativity by connecting with like-minded people and forming bonds that will go beyond the screen.
