Problem
Young adults are active on multiple social platforms, but their online interests remain fragmented and do not translate into local, organized gatherings, leading to feelings of loneliness and a lack of real‑world community connections.
Solution
Wave acts as an operating layer that links a user's digital interests to a “Wave,” which aggregates those interests into locally focused events. By integrating with existing social platforms, Wave pulls together scattered signals—such as Instagram stories, Discord servers, and group chats—to surface relevant in‑person activities. Users can discover, RSVP, and attend events directly through the app, turning online identity into tangible community participation. The platform streamlines the entire flow from interest identification to event creation and attendance, fostering coordinated local momentum for the under‑30 demographic.
Target Audience
Primary users are adults under 30 who are active on multiple social networks and seek organized, local in‑person experiences, as well as community organizers looking to mobilize digital audiences into real‑world events.
