About our project

Meet your city. Based connects you with nearby people via instant, shared-interest meetups and the best curated happenings around town.

I offer a clear vision, strong brand positioning, and a well-thought-out concept for Based, a social app designed to fix real-life loneliness. I bring experience in team management, event coordination, social media growth, and startup execution. Everything but code.

Challenges
Our biggest challenge is building trust and traction for a new kind of social interaction one that blends spontaneity with safety. On the tech side, integrating external event data and building a smooth real-time map experience without overwhelming users is a key hurdle.

Target group
Our target audience is 18–35-year-olds living in cities who feel socially disconnected, want to meet new people, and are tired of overplanned or superficial platforms. They’re curious, open-minded, and looking for low-pressure ways to connect through shared interests, spontaneous vibes, or local events.
