A social networking platform aimed at Generation Z focuses on fostering authentic connections and friendships. The app has amassed over 6 million users in the United States, primarily on iOS, with hundreds of thousands of active users. Growing organically, the platform attracts more than 20,000 new users each month and generates monthly revenues between $13,000 and $20,000. It boasts over 200,000 five-star reviews on the iOS App Store and has a significant presence on social media, with followings exceeding 78,000 on Instagram and TikTok.
The platform's primary goal is to combat loneliness and anxiety among young people, particularly teenagers, through genuine social interactions. It has developed a universal profile feature where users import their contacts to connect with real-life friends and create detailed profiles. The platform employs an advanced verification system, ensuring authenticity through image detection, ID verification, and social media activity.
The app facilitates new friendships and community building by allowing users to browse profiles, find mutual friends, and connect. Users can exchange messages, broadcast their live status, and initiate joinable video calls within the app. This feature mimics real-world interactions and introduces an element of serendipity by enabling unpredictable connections with adjacent users.
The app's users, predominantly teenagers, spend an average of 16 minutes daily, with video calls extending usage to 30 minutes per day. Despite organic growth, an influencer marketing network is also in place, achieving cost-effective app installs. The app currently operates profitably but plans to transition due to mismatches with the parent company's broader business model, albeit with potential plans to reach $10M in annual recurring revenue.
