‘Bubble’ is a community-building app designed to form sustainable social bubbles for users heavily engaged in online technology looking to make new friends. Communities range from casual walking to social sports to weekly board games night with an algorithm to match users to communities that match their comfort level. ‘Bubble’ streamlines the process to foster authentic, long-term connections within a low-pressure environment. It links users with similar interests while supporting them with moderators and safety protocols. ‘Bubble’ carefully considers every pivot point of the user’s journey, including after the event meet-ups to provide feedback touch points and a community chat space to continue building friendships, thus establishing self-sustainable community networks that will grow exponentially—just like a bubble.
