Last mile social connectivity

Meet your next friend, collaborator or mentor at a café, a conference or wherever people gather.

Spaces privately finds people worth meeting where you are. When one of them is nearby, you each get a short, anonymous reason to say hello. Names appear only if you both say yes.

One evening, start to finish

Privacy

You see why, not who

Your persona stays private
Joining a space never makes it public. It's used for matching, and that's all.
You choose the topics, each visit
Decide what's on the table in each place. Adding an interest to your persona doesn't switch it on everywhere.
Nobody hears a no
Pass, ignore or let a note expire, and no one's identity is revealed.
Pause whenever you like
Turn suggestions off and stay checked in, or check out to end the visit.
