Stop scrolling strangers' reviews. Start following your taste twin.
Going out is broken — no incumbent knows your taste
Strangers' ratings
Shows what 100 anonymous reviewers clicked four stars — not what you'd love.
What's closest
Optimized for proximity and ads, not taste or a night out.
Algorithmic popularity
Shows what's viral and who you already follow — not taste-matched discovery.
Dies before you decide
Five tastes, zero decisions. Same five spots on rotation.
Three layers, one engine — live in the product
Build your taste
A five-step onboarding — city, board, taste scenes, mood, artists. We extract a 9-dimensional taste vector.
Discover your taste twin
A feed and map of people whose vectors mathematically match yours. Follow, save, share.
Plan a night in 60s
Private inputs → a group composite → three identity-coded itineraries. Vote. Ship.
A behavioral data flywheel
Yelp / Google
Unit economics are venue advertising, not social-graph density.
Instagram / TikTok
Optimizes for content engagement, not local taste discovery.
Resy / OpenTable
Transactional booking — no behavioral taste-data layer.
A big backdrop — but we size what we can capture
Shipped and in production — scaling by design
Why Howard, why now
Founder is in the cohort
A Howard finance senior building for how Howard students actually plan nights — inside-out, not an outsider's bet.
HBCU density compounds
Tightly-connected social graphs bootstrap the taste flywheel faster from a dense, high-trust cohort.
HBCU campuses set culture
Howard's scene shapes taste far beyond its walls — Hampton, Spelman, Morehouse, then beyond.
One engine, four ways to earn
Consumer affiliate
Ticketmaster, Viator, OpenTable on bookings — wired in production.
B2B venue data
Cluster-save analytics + labeled "Promoted" placement. The lead engine.
Seasonal sponsorship
Brand activations tied to local moments and campus seasons.
Artist agency
Taste-layer for artists — booking & management on venue relationships.
Operators with the exact edges this needs

Howard finance senior; product, strategy, and the AI-assisted codebase.

The AI-enabled founder advantage
60–80% cost compression
AI engineering vs. a 2022 consumer-app build — a production stack a small team can own.
Interface unbundling
The knowledge front door is shifting from search to AI chat — attention and habit are up for grabs.
In-person demand peak
Loneliness at public-health levels; a generation craving real connection over more screen time.
