There are countless numbers of people we pass by throughout our lives, and if we had an opportunity to have gotten to know them we would have found out that they have so many similar interests to us. Groupd prominently displays the hobbies and interests of your peers around you. Select all the people you are interested in meeting. If those people have selected you and others you were interested in meeting as well, then it will put everyone into a group chat. Everyone can look through the compilation of interests and decide whether to meet up to discuss a new novel that apparently all of you have been reading or to play ultimate frisbee together at the park.
Find new friend groups!
When my younger sister first went to college she wasnt out of her shell yet and was pretty shy. She went to a student organization event and was wearing an Akatsuki shirt (a design pattern from an anime). There was a girl at the event that saw the shirt and introduced herself. From that random connection my sister made a best friend for life. The vision is to replicate connections like that.
Groups only contain people you want to hang with: An algorithm will create groups based on people you select and who have selected you in return, along with all others selected mutually by all parties.
This app is great for:
Alumni: Your college logo will show up next to your profile image so that other alumni can easily connect with you.
Apartment Complexes: Interested in rock climbing or acroyoga? 6 other people in your new apartment complex may be as well. Groupd will help you all go together.
Study Groups: Write down BIO326R as one of your interests and you can connect with other classmates trying to find a study group for microbio.
And so much more!
