Shapr

Shapr is a mobile application designed to enhance professional networking by connecting individuals based on shared interests and experiences. Launched in the United States in 2015, the app employs an intelligent algorithm to curate a personalized selection of profiles for users each day, allowing them to discover potential collaborators for meaningful conversations and opportunities. Users anonymously swipe through profiles and receive match notifications when mutual interest is indicated, facilitating connections that often lead to in-person meetings. With a significant user base in the United States, as well as growing traction in France and Britain, Shapr has gained popularity largely through word of mouth. Founded by Ludovic Huraux, the platform has attracted considerable investment and a devoted community, focusing on fostering professional relationships that can inspire and lead to collaborations.
