Approachable is an event marketplace that connects solo attendees, and we're unlocking an overlooked opportunity in the event ticketing space. Every year, Americans skip over 450 million events they want to attend because they can't find others to go with — a $26.7B missed opportunity for event organizers. Approachable captures this audience by helping them find companions (think concerts, sports games, festivals, casual hangouts, and more!). But our service doesn't end with the event. We provide pre & post-event tools that enable users to nurture the connections they made through Approachable, transforming them into lasting, meaningful relationships over time.

“Our epidemic of loneliness and isolation has been an underappreciated public health crisis that has harmed individual and societal health. Our relationships are a source of healing and well-being hiding in plain sight—one that can help us live healthier, more fulfilled and more productive lives,” - Dr. Vivek Murthy, U.S. Surgeon General. On #WorldMentalHealthAwarenessDay, we are reminded once again of Approachable's purpose in society: to aid in solving the epidemic of loneliness. 3 in 5 U.S. adults report being lonely, a shocking statistic that has drastic effects on our society both economically and fundamentally. Which is where we come in. Matching users with others who are looking for the same thing: real, genuine, IRL connections doing something THEY decide. Eliminating the 'will we won't we' variable of making plans and instead placing the user in the driver's seat. Mental health matters and you are not alone. https://lnkd.in/g5jKX3BD

We are so proud one of our founders made this list! Way to go AC! Anna Charlotte Lavers
I am so excited and humbled to be a part of the inaugural Chicago Forbes 30 Under 30 list! This past year in Chicago has been transformative in many ways and I am so proud of the Say Yes Chi group (that has grown into the 2nd largest women's-only group in the city) and the community we are launching through Approachable! It has been a whirlwind 15 months and I can't wait to see what the next few hold. Huge shoutout to Lillie Hartmann (Kase) for thinking of me for this! I am honored, truly. https://lnkd.in/gh9zCXEd #ForbesUnder30Local #LeaveItBetter
