In Case You Missed It! Here’s last week’s Startup Roundup:
- Buzzly connects users with locals nearby, to facilitate local discovery directly without in-app messaging. It uses your location to present matches within your chosen radius, and users can mutually exchange contact information if they match each other’s search terms. Keywords can be used to find others with matching interests. The app aims to offer a safe and straightforward path to connect locally, with privacy measures and SSL encryption.
- Grit helps users build and maintain healthy habits and routines alongside friends, adding a social element to habit formation. The app features personalized tracking, daily challenges, and a rewards system, making habit-building engaging and competitive through a user-friendly interface.
- Spoutible aims to create a safe, inclusive social media space free from harassment. By celebrating diversity and prioritizing user privacy and safety, it offers its community a secure and enjoyable platform for users to express themselves freely. It seeks to make trolling a thing of the past through its zero-tolerance policy against hate-driven accounts, personal attacks and spreading disinformation.
