Problem
Moving to a new city after graduation can be isolating, as recent graduates often lack established social networks and struggle to find like-minded individuals with whom to connect. Existing social platforms may not cater specifically to the needs and interests of this demographic, making it difficult to form meaningful friendships and build a local community.
Solution
GradMeet is a mobile application designed to connect recent college graduates through curated group experiences in their new city. The app utilizes a personality quiz and a values-based matching algorithm to pair users with others who share similar interests, hobbies, and values. By facilitating in-person social events and group activities, GradMeet aims to eliminate the awkwardness of meeting new people and foster the development of genuine friendships among recent graduates aged 21-27. The platform provides a dedicated space for this demographic to build a supportive community and explore their new surroundings together.
Target Audience
The primary target audience is recent college graduates, specifically those aged 21-27, who have relocated to a new city and are seeking to build a social network and connect with like-minded individuals.
