Choose what information to share limited to the location you specify. Share your name, photo, title, location. OR when you are organizing an event and want to know where certain people are.

Ideal Customers (personas).
  • Michael -goes to a lot of meetups and events meeting with different random people he’s never met before. Would like to easily see who is around in the same event and see if he would like to connect with them.
  • Michelle - is planning a big event and need to lead a group of people with different roles for the event. She wants to be able to track where they are at individually and be able to find them easily if needed.
  • Flea Market/Booths events - there are different services in the area in different booths there is not a map of the area. Individual stores can mark where their booth is located and users with the app would easily be able to find their location.
Questions:

Have you ever been in a situation in a large group event or gathering full of random people? Or when you see someone that looks familiar and you’re hesitant to come up and ask them and be wrong? In these situations don’t you wish there was a way for you to know the people around you even just their name?

Have you ever been part of a group planning an event? During the event was there a time that you needed to find someone in the group and could not?
