"We recognized that there was a very large and underserved community of people that are looking to meet and have [alcohol-free] activities together," founder and CEO John Calaba told TechCrunch. "There's very little education on what to do if you're not sitting around a dark bar."
Drybaby is also embracing the growing trend of in-person dating experiences, trying to foster a sense of community through alcohol-free socializing. Its main feature is the community section, a hub for users to connect and share events.
According to a recent study commissioned by NCSolutions, Gen Zers have expressed particular interest in the movement, with 61% of them planning to cut back on alcohol.
So far, Drybaby has partnered with companies based in New York City like Reading Rhythms, which hosts reading parties; Storytell for finding in-real-life gatherings; and The Feels, which is known for its "mindful" events for singles.
