01 / MAKE IT YOURS
It starts with what brings you here.
A short conversation gives BeYu a starting point. Pick the interests that feel like you, add an answer in your own words, and skip a question whenever you like.
- Tech & Startups, Business, Food, Music, Sports, and Fun.
- Choose two or three interests; the screen gives your first choice the most weight.
- Follow-up questions ask about your availability and where you spend time.
A little context makes a more personal starting point.

Back to the recordingTHE “WHICH ONE” PROBLEM
NYC doesn’t have a lack-of-events problem.
It has a “which one” problem.
The more of life that happens on a screen, the more we want real rooms and real people. Getting there is the hard part.

You’re missing out on revenue in a sea of NYC events.
You’re competing for sponsors and attendees with thousands of other NYC events every year. If they can’t find you in that noise, that’s revenue left on the table. And it gets worse after the event.
- 01 / CONTENT
Your best moments die in a camera roll.
The photos, the energy, the proof it was a good night: gone to a folder nobody revisits.
- 02 / LIST
Your attendees live in five places.
Ticketing, email, chat and spreadsheets, and none of them talk to each other.
- 03 / MOMENTUM
Every event starts from zero.
There’s no reason for last month’s crowd to remember you, so you rebuild the room every time.
You’re not bad at this. The tools just weren’t built to keep what you build.
- 01 / BEFORE
Too many events, not enough clarity.
NYC throws more events at you than you could ever get through. Good luck figuring out which ones are worth your time.
- 02 / DURING
A room of 100 strangers, and no idea where to start.
You walk in. Everyone seems to know each other. You don’t know a single soul, or who’s worth talking to.
- 03 / AFTER
The connection dies in the group chat shuffle.
The night ends, and you’re juggling five platforms just to keep in touch with the people you clicked with.

Your people.
