How Technology Is Quietly Erasing Serendipity

Written by BizPartner Group | 12 November 2025

Life used to be full of unplanned moments.
We got lost, met strangers, took a wrong turn — and something new began because of it.
Those small, unpredictable moments often led to friendships, ideas, even life-changing decisions.
We used to call them happy accidents.

Today, we carefully avoid them.
Navigation takes us exactly where we want to go.
Translators speak for us.
Algorithms recommend who to meet, what to read, where to go.
The world has become precise, efficient — and a little too predictable.

Technology saves us time, but time is not the same as connection.
Efficiency cannot replace the energy of a real conversation — a look, a question, an unplanned “what if” between two people who decided to sit down together.

That’s something we value deeply in our work.
In the world of investments, almost everything can be done digitally — documents, signatures, transfers.
But true investment decisions don’t happen in emails.
They happen in conversations, in trust, in those quiet moments when two people realise that working together simply makes sense.

Some of our best partnerships didn’t start in a meeting room — they started by chance.
A brief introduction, a coffee, a conversation that wasn’t even about business.
Moments that no algorithm could ever predict — and maybe that’s exactly why they matter.

We’re glad we still get to meet our investors and clients in person.
To hear their stories, their vision, their way of thinking.
Because the faster the world becomes, the more valuable those moments are — the ones that can’t be planned, automated, or optimised.

Not everything that’s planned has value.
And not everything that happens by chance is just an accident.
