Stirr

Stirr is a social discovery application that allows users to find and connect with people nearby who share similar interests. Launched in 2018, Stirr focuses on facilitating real-world meetups and fostering local communities. The app uses a user's location and declared interests to suggest potential friends and activities. Users can create profiles detailing their hobbies, passions, and what they are looking for in terms of social connections.

The platform enables users to discover events and venues in their vicinity that align with their interests. This can include anything from book clubs and hiking groups to live music and art exhibitions. Stirr also incorporates a chat feature, allowing users to communicate with each other before or after meeting up. The core functionality revolves around encouraging spontaneous interactions and building organic connections within a geographical area. Privacy and safety are emphasized, with features designed to give users control over their visibility and interactions. Stirr aims to combat social isolation by making it easier for individuals to find like-minded people and engage in shared activities in their local environment.
