Problem
Moving to a new city or experiencing life changes can make it difficult to form new, meaningful friendships. Existing social platforms often lack the structure and curation needed to foster genuine connections based on shared interests and compatible personalities. This can lead to feelings of isolation and difficulty integrating into new social circles.
Solution
Invited is a platform designed to facilitate real-world social connections through curated, small-group gatherings. Users complete an application detailing their interests and preferences, which are then processed by a matching algorithm to identify individuals with similar "vibes." The platform then sends invitations to exclusive events and activities, providing a structured and safe environment for users to meet like-minded people. After each event, users can rate their experience, further refining the matching process for future invitations and ensuring a higher likelihood of compatible connections.
Target Audience
Invited primarily targets young adults and professionals, particularly those who are new to a city, experiencing life transitions, or seeking to expand their social circle with like-minded individuals.
