Mixer
Events made easy.
Introduction
Picture this, you've been hitting the books all week, and now it's finally Friday night. You're ready to relax and have some fun this weekend, but wait a second... you realize you don't know where to go, when to be there, or if anything is even happening. So like hundreds of students in Boston every weekend, you get some friends together and uber to frat row, hoping to stumble upon an event. But you end up wandering around, getting turned away more often than not. It's frustrating, it's unsafe, and - quite frankly - it's a waste of time. That's where Mixer comes in. Mixer is a centralized platform that takes the guesswork out of finding and hosting events.
Problem
Trying to find something to do after a long week of studying and grinding PSets is often a nightmare. It can be a struggle to find events happening nearby, and students often have to use various sources like social media, flyers, and word-of-mouth, making it challenging to find and attend events they actually care about and leading to a disconnected experience. Here, there are missed opportunities for both event organizers and attendees. Event organizers often have limited resources to manage and promote their events effectively and reach their target audience. As a result, hosts end up cutting corners with things like having a robust check-in system, reliable guest lists, and adequate communication with guests. This can lead to unorganized and often unsafe events that lack any accountability of guests, which can amplify problems like drink spiking and assault.
Opportunity
Mixer is a comprehensive event management and discovery platform designed to connect college students with events that align with their interests and schedules while holding safety and accountability paramount. Through our platform, students can discover and RSVP to events, communicate with event organizers, and report dangerous or inappropriate behavior directly to the host, which helps with issues like crowd control and preventing drink spiking. For event organizers, Mixer provides a centralized platform to manage and promote their events, as well as access to valuable insights and data on attendee behavior. Our solution streamlines the process of event discovery and management, making it more efficient and effective for both students and event organizers.
