AI social facilitator for offline meetups

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built an IRL marketplace that connects people to local social experiences through AI-powered recommendations. Our system suggests venues and events tailored to facilitate real-world human interactions rather than just online engagement. It's designed for people who want to meet others face-to-face but struggle with how to do it meaningfully.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in New York, NY and plan to stay here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

New York is a hub for social venues and a diverse population eager for offline connection. Being here helps us test and grow our marketplace directly where the demand for social facilitation is high.
