CONVRS
Fostering random encounters
Random encounters
Ever had one of those serendipitous encounters
where you get into a random conversation with
a complete stranger and get completely carried
away?
A completely random encounter which leads to
this absolutely rewarding experience through
nothing more than a simple conversation.
Where you get exposed to someone you
would've never met and might not ever meet
again
But how does one go about finding such people without being too creepy and
coming across as a potential stalker? By way of a not-so-random encounter …
What is CONVRS?
Arranges random meetings between people who wouldn’t
necessarily ever meet in the first place
Removes superficial bias out of selection criteria
(matching not based on sex, age, race, looks)
Encourages people to get outside and be more social.
Away from their computers and digital social media
Exposes people to others around them, enriching their
perspectives and adding new ideas to their lives
Could lead to a potential friendship, partnership,
employment, relationship, mentorship, etc.
Invites you to have a much needed coffee / lunch break away
from your typical crowd
How does CONVRS work?
• Login to CONVRS with your
Facebook or LinkedIn account to
grant access to the personal details
• Your CONVRS public profile page
will only display your location and a
quote / answer to a specific question
(e.g. What are you passionate
about?)
Create Profile
• Search based on geographical
proximity and time availability
• Users to specify available time for a
30-minute chat
• GPS to find nearby users and match
based on random algorithm.

time to meet
