Our story is a serendipitous one...
SERENFLIPITY is rooted in behavioral science — and in real experience. Our founder, Cara Thomas, built this deck to help her get unstuck after a breakup and re-inspired at work.
Cara spent over 10 years inventing award-winning products for Fortune 100 companies with What If Innovation. She found that adventure and playfulness led to breakthroughs with her clients.
In need of that herself, she started Serenflipity as a personal experiment, when she convinced 90 friends, clients and strangers to write adventures for her to complete on a solo travel journey. The results were surprising and serendipitous — and even included getting life-changing advice from Steven Tyler.
She blogged the tales, and followers began to do the same challenges to great result. A stranger gave her the final challenge of her trip: to turn this project into a product to spark the same magic for others. While working 80 hour weeks and living in Singapore, she successfully crowdfunded and launched Serenflipity’s beta.
As she turned the project into a product, she discovered that going beyond your comfort zone and connecting with others and the world around you doesn’t have to be scary or serious. And it doesn’t require an exotic trip. It can be fun, easy, and happen right in your hometown.
Now, fans around the world are flipping their ways to new relationships, rekindled friendships and serendipitous encounters that spread joy.
