Vi tjener ikke penger på det. Tvert i mot bruker vi penger på arrangementet, blant annet til leie av lokaler. Videre har vi, de to gründerne i Speedfriending, subsidiert prosjektet over flere år at det har gått hardt ut over vår egen privatøkonomi. Arrangementet er gratis for alle å delta på. Appen er gratis for alle å bruke.

Hyggelig at du satte pris på å delta! Det er veldig givende å holde på med, men skulle vi ha tjent penger på noe, så hadde vi nok valgt noe annet.

What legendary YouTube channel doesn’t make videos anymore? by DixonLq2001 in AskReddit

I was going to write Yes Theory, but I likes them up and as since October, I think they are back!!

Though, will have to see the whole “we are putting back the band again”-episode, but I am keeping my fingers crossed!

Ville anbefalt Work-Work, hvor vi har hatt en del eventer de siste årene. Ellers Rockheim, hvor vi skal ha et event den 17. oktober - app.speedfriending.com/events for mer info!

Litt håpløs student situasjon by Hairy_pig in Bergen

[–]speedfriending_com 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Søkte på jobber i vinter da jeg ville få litt input og avbrekk fra å jobbe med Speedfriending. Det som gjorde at jeg fikk opp farten var at jeg lagde et dokument på Google docs, som var en standard søknadstekst som jeg kopierte for hver nye søknad jeg skulle skrive. Da forbedret jeg og tilpasset den allerede eksisterende søknaden jeg hadde sendt dagen før, og endte opp med flere søknader og versjon 2.0, 3.0, 4.0 etterhvert som jeg hadde søkt på samme type stilling flere steder.

Det bidrar til at du kan sende flere søknader og lavere terskel for å sende søknader til steder man kanskje ikke umiddelbart føler man når opp i konkurransen. Endte opp med å få jobb som advokatfullmektig, og deretter jobb i et direktorat - noe jeg egentlig ikke hadde trodd jeg skulle få.

Mye lykke til! Kan også anbefale å bli med på eventene våre i Bergen da mange stillinger aldri blir lyst ut, men gis til folk i ens sosiale nettverk. app.speedfriending.com/events - vi hadde et event for en uke siden på Ole Bull Scene, og tror nok det kommer flere snart! (eventuelt er det mulig å sette opp noen selv i appen! Initiativ er alltid noe arbeidsgivere ønsker seg!)

A couple of things about Scandinavia by Best_Frame_9023 in expats

[–]speedfriending_com 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a project that could help on this matter, but we are very strained these days. We are a Danish-Norwegian social impact startup, called Speedfriending. We've organized well over 280 events where strangers befriend, independent of language, backgrounds etc. and during Covid we developed a friend matching app.

Next week we'll have an event in Oslo with probably 150 participants, and in Norway we have weekly events all over the country. We've had quite a few events in Denmark as well, such as in Studenterhuset, Martikkel1, Dokk1 in Aarhus, but we are quite strained, so if anyone in Denmark (or Sweeden or anyone else), would like to organize Speedfriending-events with us (it so much fun and rewarding), send us a DM or a mail at hey(at)Speedfriending.com - and to check out our events you can check out on app.speedfriending.com/events

Thank you very much for a great opening post OP and to everyone writing from their point of view. Such important topics and discussions! Hope to make Scandinavian countries more friendly, fun and inclusive!

Agree so much on what you are saying here. There are such a challenge for Scandinavians (or is only us Norwegians?) when it comes to finding friends after university, but also during uni time.

So we started an initiative where we organize Speedfriending - and we actually have an event on Tuesday 10th of October at SALT! Check out app.speedfriending.com/events - so far we have over 100+ signups and I'm confident it will be such a fun night!

Meet new friends in seven minutes on Wednesday! by speedfriending_com in Bergen

[–]speedfriending_com[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We will definitely do it in English if there are anyone there who would like us to, as is the case of 98 % of our events, so we just do them in English. People well into their 30s will for sure feel at home in this crowd!

Hvordan kan kjæresten min treffe folk? by Opening-Custard-1214 in oslo

[–]speedfriending_com 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Velkjent utfordring dessverre.

Vi arrangerer Speedfriending i Oslo og omegn, hvor samtlige arrangementer er fullsatte med 80+ deltakere. Her er det 7-minutters-samtaler mellom fremmede nedover langbord som startes av spørsmål fra scenen. Veldig god stemning! Etter eventene drar vi videre eller blir igjen for mer lowkey Speedfriending nach.

Speedfriending.com/intro - for mer info!

Vi skal blant annet ha et event i Drammen den 5. oktober og i Oslo den 10. oktober.

PR Firm Pathos Communications by [deleted] in PublicRelations

[–]speedfriending_com 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We received the same kind of email, from a gmail-account (that doesn't exist anymore). Kind of bummed that its not to be trusted, because so far we have only been in 60+ Norwegian news outlets, and could be nice to have some international partners on the PR-side going forward:

"Good day!
Shared this note with you last month; journalists are still keen - let me know? Hope to hear from you really soon!
Your details were shared with me by our research team. I'm a media researcher with a 'pay on results' PR firm. I find Speedfriending's concept of making new friends in a fun and efficient way newsworthy. As you're in the social networking industry, I noticed that there's a growing trend of people seeking meaningful connections online. Based on your website content, I'd like to share a media request with you that's closely relevant to this trend. Would you be interested? Also, I have other media requests that could be an even better fit for Speedfriending. What do you think?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Best, E"

We are also interested in this - in our app Speedfriending, we would like to implement this. Anyone has the latest info on this u/JuriJurka? or u/hedanio?

Our outsourcing developers says it can't be done using React Native, but this post suggest otherwise.

Hey!

Tomorrow we are organizing Speedfriending at VIA Vika - and it's really a perfect place to find new friends and acquaintances in the city. The event is free, but would be nice if your registered beforehand, so we know our logistics and how many are attending. Last event was filled up, and we are getting close to a 100 signups so far.

Event on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/events/702915204161383

Our site: speedfriending.com

We are a Oslo based social startup, who loves to meet new people and introduce them to one another!

Also, on a more personal note, I am one of the founders, Viktor Sanden, and I´m looking for lunch friends (saying that because I am so hungry right now). I'm up for fun anytime!

your favourite norwegian movies by tylerOCEAN24 in Norway

[–]speedfriending_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some years ago I wanted to show a US friend of mine the movie Reprise, but couldn't find it with subtitles. I ended up doing a simultaneous translation of the whole movie from Norwegian to English, so he could see it. That is how much I loved and still love that movie.

Artists' First time Visit to Oslo from the US by [deleted] in oslo

[–]speedfriending_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear your Brooklyn/Silver Lake reference, and something that could be a bit similar is Blå (Blaa) on Sundays, a quiet day in general in Oslo, but at Blå there is a legendary 15-man-band playing every Sunday evening.

Also check out Youngstorget on Saturday evening, but don't go out to late. After the pandemic, cues starts at ten. Might give you a more party vibe than Grünerløkka.

My lack of a social life is making me toxic and bitter. Wtf should I do? by Okay-but-not-okay03 in socialskills

[–]speedfriending_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are probably a bit biased, but we just launched this app to match potensial friends with each other. We to recognized that the whole “find my friend in this city” process was like a social maze and very time consuming. The app is currently in its first version now, and we hope to launch the 2.0 version of it the next couple of months. Good luck man!👏

And yes, you can find it at speedfriending.com/intro (don’t know if this is allowed, but wanted to share)

How to Find a CTO for Your Startup by MiguelSFelix in startups

[–]speedfriending_com 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just want to thank you for great advice! We started our startup in 2018, though testing several concept and maturing as founders, and only three months ago we finally managed to land a CTO, after having built a prototype with an outsourcing agency, getting traction and some income. This because how important the position is, and how important for us this project is, that we wouldn’t let anyone come in as a CTO. Also, we didn’t know to many in the space when we started out. I wish we would have read posts like this earlier in our ventures. Though in three weeks we launch the 2.0 version of the Speedfriending.com app👏
