MeetNow!
Spontaneous Social Connection
The Gap in Social Connection
Modern urban life has fragmented social communities. People struggle to organize spontaneous gatherings and discover like-minded individuals for everyday activities.
Current Reality
- WhatsApp and Facebook groups are cluttered, chaotic, and inefficient for event coordination
- Existing dating apps focus solely on romantic relationships, ignoring platonic social needs
- No centralized platform exists for instant, activity-based meetups
- Urban isolation grows despite digital connectivity
People want spontaneous coffee, sports, concerts, and adventures—but have no proper tool to make it happen.
