in your lifetime, you’ll come across many crossroads requiring decisions that could possibly affect the way the rest of your lives shape up. in the early years, humans depended on their tribes for help with decision making and the path to pursue. steadily this advisory circle grew to your religious congregations and your community elders. with the advancements in communications and now with digital connectivity, the world is smaller than ever. one tends to build their own community with those having aligned thoughts, has exposure to a world of knowledge through the internet, and is becoming a part of ever-growing populous networks with experiences as diverse as possible.
as close as technology has brought us however, it has also alienated us from each other. social media and connectivity platforms are only focused on connecting us with people we already know. one of the core philosophies behind Whatsapp as a platform seems to be that they will only let us speak to a person who’s phone number we already have. Instagram and others allow us to follow our idols as well as enable thousands of individuals to become influencers to the world. to be able to connect with those idols personally though, is a herculean task in itself.
while the number of decision-needing crossroads in our life have not reduced, the ability of people in our personal circles to be the best guides is questionable at best, we have a constant desire to speak to people whose footsteps we wish to follow. being a social media message away from them yet unable to get a response or a connection can be wildly frustrating.
this is where we believe the world should be able to come to each other’s aid. while technology has solved the problem of connectivity, we desire to solve the problem of incentive to help our fellow humans outside our circles. you are an expert in the life you’ve lived. nobody knows your journey, your struggles, your achievements better than you. we desire to make you accessible to anyone pursuing a similar journey, developing similar interests in their life to be able to reach you directly. we wish to add value to your time, experience and knowledge so that you don’t feel the connection is being fulfilled out of an obligation but rather something you would willingly wish to offer.
come join us in building the next town square, where everyone is welcome and everyone has only one goal, to enable their fellow human beings to become the best version of themselves. we plan to add a billion contacts to your phonebook, while preserving everyone’s privacy.
