In 2021. twin sisters Kelly and Caitlin Stefanick wanted to meet more people. After graduating from the University of Chicago in 2017, they had moved to New York City and started careers in Public Relations and Finance, but in all that time, they were never really able to expand their network beyond the people they knew from home, work, or college. In the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, they knew that real-life interaction was needed more than ever, so they decided to create a space where young professionals who felt the same they did could make genuine connections and build new relationships. They called it Shaka ("SHAA" + "kuh") after the hang loose gesture common in surfing (their favorite hobby in 2020) and started hosting events.
