Earthbound - A Social App app for iPhone and iPad

The Problem:
Though were more connected online than ever before, we are seeing greater signs of loneliness among individuals, especially younger adults.

Our Solution:
Earthbound is a location-based social network that encourages offline meet-ups for working adults.

What else is special about Earthbound?
Earthbound allows you to craft your profile based on your current life journey, upcoming plans, and the professional work you do. We leave the rest — like hobbies and other fun interests — for you to discover through conversations!
One of our core beliefs is: "Meeting once is infinitely better than never." Through the sharing of life journeys and upcoming plans, Earthbound makes it easier for us to recognize the precious and limited time we have with one another. We are calling it "Earthly Camaraderie."

What is EARTHLY CAMARADERIE?
We aim to redefine adulthood friendship into a shared sense of Earthly Camaraderie. We seek to remind people that being present on Earth is enough reason for two people to meet and share their journeys, thoughts, ideas and opinions.

One of our core beliefs is: "Meeting once is infinitely better than never."

Lets discuss further!:

Fear of wasting time: Many people hesitate to meet others due to fear of wasting time and difficulty finding common ground. Our platform reminds users that making a friend doesnt mean a lifelong commitment. Instead, it’s about appreciating the chance to connect, even briefly.

Power of meeting even once: Face-to-face conversations allow us to share cultural backgrounds and gain insights from different perspectives. These offline interactions are unique and irreplaceable, enriching our human experience in ways that online connections cannot.

Growing number of digital nomads: The very definition of work is changing right before our eyes. With the rapid development in AI, the maximum potential of individual capabilities is shooting through the roof. We believe well continue to see a growing number of digital nomads, those who make a living online and wander offline. And as the bond held by the existing communities, workplaces, and nationalities weakens, well see a growing need to experiment with new ways to bring people together through fresh perspectives and methods. Earthbound aims to be there to be one of the first places people can turn to.

Mission Statement:
Building a more empathetic world.
