From the Founders.
Hi, we're Kayla and Sophie.
We met while volunteering at a London leadership organisation that hosted events for young entrepreneurs. That meeting turned into Phiya Technologies, our female founded company with one mission: getting Gen Z and millennials connecting in the real world again. HENRYS is our first product.
We've been through modern dating ourselves, and we were over it. The swipe fatigue. The bots. The AI generated profiles. Dating apps have left people more frustrated and more disconnected than ever, us included.
So we started hosting dating events across London. Those events grew into a card game, because a game gives you a natural reason to talk to someone at a bar, a party, a wedding or the pub. That's how our grandparents met: in person, in the same room, with zero algorithms involved.
Between us, we had exactly the skills to build it. Kayla comes from operations (UK Growth and Operations at Rebel Athletic) and Sophia comes from marketing and PR (Bacchus and Perowne International).
HENRYS is low pressure and high fun. Nobody meets anyone with a screen in their hand, so put your phone down, deal the cards, and flirt offline.
