Wonderloop, the world's first video profile platform !

The past few years the social media world has exploded…  Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram.  But staying on top of the social media trend means staying in the loop – and in this case, the Wonderloop.

Wonderloop, the world’s first video-profile platform, introduces a unique way of connecting with others. Users upload a 20-second video profile, which allows others to truly experience their personality, something you’re not able to do through pictures and texts.

Developed in Norway by Hanna Aase, Wonderloop is geared at those looking for new friends, potentials clients or business partners, and is also an essential tool in applying for a position at a new job. Easy to use, the app allows you to search people by their name, location and place of business.

Aase talks about what inspired her to create Wonderloop in our interview on her recent visit to Los Angeles.

Q: What promoted you to start an app and why this particular one?  

A: I lived alone in my own house since just turning 14 and I might have had a grown up life as of material things but I was not happy as a person. I had lost all my closest people in my life and the only thing that had not changed was that Oprah was still on TV in our living room. You could say she took over raising me. The only time I felt joy as being so much alone was when Oprah gave away opportunities on TV to people who needed it and I could see their surprising joy on their face and life- changing moment. From that point I have thought about how can we all meet life-changing people like Oprah, how can I make everyone be able to give and connect like she does. We do favors and connect our friends and people in our circle but what would make us do it for a stranger? There is just no time to meet every person in the world or have that first coffee meeting with someone. But if you can see every person in the world with a click of a button it will change everything. You speed up how many people you get to meet in your life, you feel you have met them after seeing their video in a very different way than just a photo and it´s possible to feel connected or as you know the person without even having met. Wonderloop will this way ultimately change the way we give, hire, invest and connect as first step is always seeing who we are. So for me there is only one app and one vision and as far away from a coincidence or just a start-up idea as one can get. It´s all I have ever wanted to do and the goal won´t be reached before I can go back to the house I have been alone in for 18 years and still connect and meet people like in real life all over the world. At least as close as technology can get us. 

Q: How old were you when you came up with this idea?

A: I was 14. Everything I have done since has been for this vision.

Q: What are your hopes for Wonderloop?

A: Right now people use Wonderloop to meet new people for coffee, to find people when they travel to a new place, companies use it to look for new employees and networks use hashtags to see who is in the network. My end vision for Wonderloop is simply to be able to see every person in the world with a click of a button. To take down time it takes to meet a new person, to have us meet as many as possible during our life so that the odds of connecting with life-changing people is higher. My vision – to have you meet life changing people. When only having 10-20 seconds it also says a lot about who you are as a person and it´s only when we dare to share what we want in life that the world can respond to it. There really isn´t a good platform to meet new people aside from dating applications and not even Facebook or LinkedIn is very open to you connecting to people you haven´t already met in real life. This is where video profiles offer a solution, and as excited as we are that we were the very first to launch a video-profile platform, we won´t rest until everyone in the world has one.
