I’m in my 5th year of uni, and one of the hardest problems I’ve seen (and experienced myself) is how tough it is to meet the right people and actually make time to chat with them.
So last year I started looking for solutions to this problem. After 4 failed attempts, I’m proud to launch Ember.
Think of Ember as a super-helpful friend who
- always seems to know exactly the kind of person you’re looking to meet
- Knows literally all the clubs around campus and which one you should join
- (soon) find the perfect course to take based on your major and what you’ve already taken (e.g. Ember suggesting you a class you would enjoy or a GPA booster)
I’d love for you to try it and lmk your feedback
- Does this solve a real problem for you? If not, what’s the struggle for you when it comes to making meaningful & lasting friendships/relationships?
- What would make it more useful?
- What might stop you from using it?
Happy to answer any questions in the comments. If you’d rather chat 1-on-1, my DMs are open too
P.S: I’ve been also live-streaming the process of building it on YouTube & Twitch if you wanna check that out. I know privacy can be a big concern for these kind of things since I’m working with people’s personal data so I’m trying to be as transparent as possible with how it’s being built
