Problem
It can be challenging for individuals, especially newcomers to a city, to discover and organize spontaneous social activities with like-minded people nearby. Existing social platforms often lack focus on real-world interactions and small group hangouts, making it difficult to build local friendships and networks.
Solution
CLIQup is a mobile and web application designed to facilitate spontaneous, small-group social activities and hangouts. The platform enables users to discover individuals nearby who share similar interests and to easily plan and coordinate meetups. Users can create their own groups ("CLIQs") based on shared interests, browse activities happening in their city, and invite others to join. The app also provides a dedicated group chat for each event to streamline communication and planning among attendees.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals seeking to expand their local social network, newcomers to a city looking to make new friends, and businesses aiming to attract customers through organized social activities.
