ChatGPT: “Belonging”
Horrified by the increasing loneliness and polarization in our society, which the Surgeon General likened to an epidemic with health effects equivalent to smoking 15 cigarettes a day, we set out to solve the problem using technology.
The world needed a platform that helps people find belonging intuitively- small groups with a lot in common doing what they love together. Fueled by a suggestion algorithm and infinitely scalable. Usable by someone new to a city, or new to an organization.
The impact on society and individuals will be transformational- civil wars may be averted as masses of people with different faiths or political views are brought together around common interests like sports or serving. Longevity will be boosted as social wellness improves.
We are inspired by two examples from nature- sequoias and horses. Sequoias grow to be the tallest in the world by having roots that interconnect with the roots of their neighboring trees. Belgian horses are able to pull far more than double when paired with a second horse because they encourage each other, and the amount they can pull increases dramatically with the amount of time they've spent together.
What's the meaning of our logo? The K symbolizes different people and groups coming together beautifully, with some circles overlapping, and some adjacent.
