Building Technology for Real-World Connection
We create digital experiences that bring people together in meaningful ways, fostering genuine human engagement beyond the screen.
We create digital experiences that bring people together in meaningful ways, fostering genuine human engagement beyond the screen.
In a world increasingly dominated by digital interactions, we believe technology should enhance rather than replace human connection. Our mission is to create digital experiences that encourage people to engage with the real world around them.
We're not building another social media platform or productivity app. Instead, we focus on tools that facilitate genuine, in-person interactions—whether that's discovering local events, connecting with neighbors, or finding meaningful ways to engage with your community.
Every product we create is designed with intentionality, prioritizing user well-being and authentic human connection over engagement metrics and screen time. We believe the best technology is invisible—it gets out of the way and lets the human experience shine.
Discover local events that matter
A community-driven platform that helps you find and attend local events, meetups, and gatherings in your area. Connect with your neighbors and build meaningful relationships through shared experiences.
Your local coffee community
Connect with fellow coffee enthusiasts in your area. Discover new cafes, share recommendations, and meet up for coffee dates with people who share your passion for great coffee and conversation.
Something exciting is brewing
We're working on our next project that will further our mission of fostering real-world connections. Stay tuned for updates on what we're building next.
Founded by a team of designers and developers who believe in the power of technology to bring people together, IRL Engagements emerged from a simple observation: the most meaningful moments in our lives happen when we're fully present with other people.
We've worked at major tech companies and seen firsthand how digital products can either enhance or hinder human connection. Our experience has taught us that the best technology serves people, not the other way around.
Based in San Francisco but building for communities everywhere, we're committed to creating products that make the world feel a little more connected, one real interaction at a time.
We'd love to hear from you. Whether you're interested in our work, have a project in mind, or just want to chat about technology and human connection, we're here to listen.
