Challenges

Our biggest challenge is building trust and traction for a new kind of social interaction one that blends spontaneity with safety. On the tech side, integrating external event data and building a smooth real-time map experience without overwhelming users is a key hurdle.

Target group

Our target audience is 18–35-year-olds living in cities who feel socially disconnected, want to meet new people, and are tired of overplanned or superficial platforms. They’re curious, open-minded, and looking for low-pressure ways to connect through shared interests, spontaneous vibes, or local events.
