Hippe is a platform that allows users to find speakers for events through social connections. It addresses issues with maintaining event-based connections on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and email. Hippe users can create event pages, invite friends and share events. They can also search for speakers by topic, get quotes, and pay speakers through Hippe. The platform also features Pods, which are discussion groups around interests, that allow users to meet up offline. As users contribute more to events and Pods on Hippe, through organizing, participating and receiving good ratings, they progress through different user levels within the Hippe community.
