What Our Plan Is
We plan on creating a social media platform that modi es behaviour: we want people to hang out more
together and spend more time getting to know each other o ine. Moreover, we want the currency to be
"good deeds", favours you are willing to do for your friends, organisations and charitable causes.
We want our platform to be event based, so that people can create more occasions to be together and to
facilitate social gatherings, making them easier to organise and cheaper for everyone.

In case such a platform was created would you be willing to download
the app and try it for the rst time?

Yes, if my friends were already on the platform

gathering
