Founders Carlo and Fabian Markaban about Hitchie: ‘These days there are all sorts of meetups and events. We’ve found out that professionals who are attending these events, often meet with people they already know, like colleagues or known business contacts. What they often don’t do is meeting interesting new people.’

Hitchie connects attendees face to face in an online speed network session before a physical event or meetup starts. While people are familiar with one another the threshold to launch into conversation during these events disappears, which results in more network interaction.

Last year the guys launched the app that answered the question:
Always wanted to know how big your e-Penis is?
http://www.epenis.nl

People all over the world, including celebrities like Demi Moore, wanted to know what their size was.

Today the same guys, Barry Borsboom (@m0nk), Frank Groeneveld (@frankgroeneveld) en Boy van Amstel (@boyvanamstel) launched www.PleaseRobMe.com.

So, the first release probably will not be perfect (far from that), but is good enough for the user to enjoy the core features

We cannot wait to get your feedback, but let’s launch first!
