Company Description
In real life, we manage our personal and private lives with relative ease. Families, friends, coworkers, and lovers exist in separate worlds, at separate times. They only come together when we choose. Online, things are way more complicated.
Hibe is an all-in-one social utility that lets individuals or organizations build their own networks.
Hibe helps you manage your various lives and activities online in a simple, natural way. You can create any facet of your real life, and include people you interact with. Everything that’s important to you––the people, places, activities, projects, ideas, products, beliefs––is organized logically and shared according to your needs.
Your content is meaningful only in the context it was posted. For example, your co-workers cannot access your family information, unless they are also a family member.
You are in complete control. Indeed, you can present yourself differently to your family, your friends, your co-workers, or any of your circles, thereby reinforcing a certain image, a perception, or identity you want to portray to people into each facet, as you do in real life.
Thus, Hibe lets you build and grow your own social network, while respecting your fundamental privacy rights. The result: a synchronous representation of your world and your relationships that works the way you want it to, both online and off.
