Evntful

💫 We're thrilled to announce Alla Ouvarova as our fireside chat guest at the "What Moves the Needle" event on 29th April 💫   Alla co-founded Two Chicks in 2007 and built it over 18 years, from a £25,000 funding round to a brand in every major UK supermarket. In 2025, she completed a majority stake sale to Eurovo Group and remains at the helm.   She's an ideal guest for the topic, having lived through every stage of building a product business and openly sharing her insights with other female founders.    She's been through the scrappy early days with no budget, creating a category that didn't exist. She's grown through a recession, navigated international expansion, and exited.   Join us for a fireside Q&A where you can pick her brain about the real decisions that moved the needle.   The cherry on the cake? The event also features a fashion and accessories founder showcase and curated networking matched by Evntful, so you don't miss out on the important connections in the room.   Grab a friend and join us, as 2-for-1 tickets are available. Industrious, 131 Finsbury Pavement, London Wednesday, 29th April, 5pm onwards Link to tickets in comments.

Dating apps not doing it? Maybe it’s time to meet people the human way. We recently teamed up with Pitch Your Bestie, where friends pitch their single friends (yes, literally take the mic), complete with funny stories, mini slides and full crowd energy. The fun didn’t just stop there… 1. Before the event - Evntful helped attendees see who’s coming and start conversations early 2. During the event - easy icebreakers, shared moments and a traffic light system to set your vibe 3. After the event - everyone headed out together and the conversations didn’t just… end And that’s the point. It can just be about meeting people. Networking. Finding your kind of energy in a room full of strangers. Can’t wait to show you what we’re doing next 🤏 #networking #connections #communitybuilding #realconnections

We don’t believe in leaving great conversations up to luck. Being part of Fashion 4.0 by ZERØTEC at the the Design Museum was honestly such a good reminder of why we do what we do. The room had everything from bold fashion, ambitious designers, curious investors, big ideas flying around and somewhere in the middle of all that buzz…we were connecting the dots.🕵️ 👀 In the lead-up to the night, we looked at the guest list and figured out where the real alignment is. That way, when people meet, it’s not surface-level: it’s straight into something that matters. And honestly? Watching those conversations unfold is our favourite part. The “how have we not met before?” The quick exchange of details. The follow-up plans being made on the spot. ✨ That’s when you know it’s working. ✨ Huge respect to Nicholas Betts for bringing together such a dynamic mix of people and creating the kind of environment where innovation thrives. Massive thanks to Tayla Clark, Sophie Curr and the The Heard team for believing that networking can and should be done with purpose. We left inspired, slightly hoarse from talking and very excited about what comes next. Because real connections don’t live in DMs. They happen in rooms like this. 💜

The future of fashion is both sustainable and social. We’re proud to be partnering with ZERØTEC for Fashion 4.0. Their platform helps designers and manufacturers reduce waste through smarter pattern design and fabric optimisation, making production more sustainable without compromising on cost. Evntful makes sure the conversations at Fashion 4.0 don’t stay in the room. 💜 Looking forward to seeing meaningful connections take shape. 🤝

✨ A brilliant morning for women in business ✨ We were glad to join a gathering hosted by Sphere with support from YFM Equity Partners and Broadfield. Every conversation offered something real and useful. Events like these remind us why strong networks matter and how powerful it is when women openly share their experiences. 💜👏👏

We spent the week watching BBC Studios Dating Apps: The Inside Story and it was interesting to see how honestly the documentary talks about modern dating. Evntful appears for a moment in the film along with a clip from our Alcotraz evnt. It was a reminder of why we started building this in the first place. People still want to meet face to face. They want to feel comfortable. They want dating to feel like something they can enjoy instead of navigate through a screen. If you want to see how we’re trying to make that easier, you can find us on the app or follow what we’re doing on socials. More partnerships and evnts are on the way and we’re excited for what’s coming next. 💜

IT'S TIME!! BBC Three and BBC One are airing a documentary that digs into the realities of today’s dating-app world; the pressure, the burnout and the growing frustration across the industry. Evntful features as one of the emerging alternatives challenging that system. 💜 Link: https://lnkd.in/gMez6Nya The film looks at how the swipe economy was built, who it benefits and why so many people are stepping away from traditional platforms. Evntful is shown as one of the fresh models reshaping how people meet; centred on real life not endless scrolling. Our team is proud to see the work we’ve been doing reflected in a wider industry discussion. 🤓 The process hasn’t been simple and the last few months have been intense but this moment captures why we’re committed to building something healthier for everyone. If you’re curious about where we’re headed next, follow our page for upcoming updates and BTS pieces. 💜 We also know this topic can be sensitive. That’s why we’re sharing Bloom - https://lnkd.in/g5UN3neK by CHAYN; a free, supportive space offering survivor-led resources and gentle guidance for anyone who needs it. 🤍

A pretty special moment for us!! Evntful got a shoutout as one of the Top 10 startups at LvlUp Ventures’ Demo Day. Feels good to be building alongside such driven founders and a community that actually shows up. 👏 Onwards, upwards and always grateful for the momentum. 💜
