Problem
LGBTQ+ consumers often struggle to identify queer-owned businesses when traveling, relocating, or exploring their local area, making it difficult to intentionally support the community. Existing review platforms rarely highlight ownership identity, forcing users to rely on word-of-mouth or time-consuming research to find affirming establishments.
Solution
Everywhere Is Queer provides a free mobile app with an interactive global map that helps users locate queer-owned businesses anywhere in the world. The platform pairs a browsable directory with a pin-dropping feature that lets users plan visits to specific spots or discover recommendations spontaneously. The app serves as a resource for daily errands, dining decisions, and trip planning. The directory also provides businesses with visibility tools, including featured listings, to connect with an engaged community of over 350,000 users actively seeking queer-owned enterprises.
Target Audience
Primary users are LGBTQ+ consumers who want to discover and support queer-owned businesses during daily activities and travel, while the platform also serves queer-owned and ally-owned businesses seeking community visibility and customer growth.
