Concept

Coby is a safe platform for those of any age who want to meet new people while looking for a night out on the town. Whether you're new to a city or just want to expland your network of friends.

Firstly, users will use the Coby platform to find events they're interested in around their selected town. From there they will be greeted with other like-minded 'buddies' who are also looking for others to go out with. Coby will then allow you to send an email to that buddy to plan the night ahead.
