Problem
College students often miss opportunities to connect with people they encounter in their daily campus life, leading to missed connections for friendship, romance, or networking. Existing dating and social apps rely on superficial profiles and endless swiping, which can be time-consuming and lead to irrelevant matches.

By leveraging geolocation technology, the app identifies potential matches based on shared locations, such as classrooms, libraries, or campus events. Crossed aims to transform everyday encounters into meaningful relationships by providing a platform to reconnect with missed connections and foster authentic interactions within the university community. The app prioritizes quality matches over quantity, encouraging users to minimize screen time and maximize real-life experiences.
