OUR MISSION

The neighbor you've nodded at for two years.

You've never spoken. Neither of you is being rude. There's just no reasonable way to start now.

A coffee shop with four people in it who'd like you.

One is training for the same race. One moved here in March and knows nobody either.

The internet solved four thousand miles and somehow forgot about the first one.

Every app you have is extraordinary at showing you people far away and useless at the person across the street. That's not an oversight — distance was never what they were optimizing. Proximity works on the first mile. It's a smaller problem and a much harder one, and it's the one that decides whether your week has anyone in it.

What we won't trade away.

Every decision gets checked against these. When one conflicts with growth, this list wins.

We won't widen the radius to look busier.

An empty city should feel empty. The temptation in a thin market is to stretch the range until the app feels alive — that's how you end up with a match forty minutes away who you'll never meet.

We're not trying to win your evening.

Time in app is not a goal here. Proximity has worked when you've closed it and you're somewhere with someone, and it has failed when you're still scrolling at 11pm.
