Problems we are trying to solve
Problems we are trying to solve
Individuals may feel isolated or lonely due to a lack of like-minded people around them. "My bros thinks a 'trail mix' is just M&Ms. Trying to get them on a hike is like pulling teeth. Seriously need some fellow nature nuts who get that fresh air is the best therapy."
It can be challenging to discover people who share niche or specific interests in everyday life. "My crew thinks camping is staying in a hotel without room service."
Some individuals struggle to find networking opportunities related to their hobbies or interests. "Attending local meetups hoping to expand my outdoor tribe, but it's like a ghost town. Ain't nobody interested(…)"
Users may not have a support system for their interests, hindering personal growth and fulfillment. "My attempts at networking during bushcraft workshops are like signaling for help. No response."
