Problem
In the modern age, it has become increasingly difficult for young adults to meet new people and make more friendships. By using technology— the very thing that is contributing to the problem— people can connect with each other they would not have otherwise. There are plenty of options for connecting locally with dating apps, but there has yet to be a popular app dedicated solely to making local friends. Introverted people tend to find it harder to make friends. Many find difficulties coming up with what to talk about, and struggle to find people with the same interests.
With a local friend finding app geared toward younger adults, there is a large market available. There is no predecessor that has a focus on group conversation and making it as easy as possible for more introverted types to use. The app must be easy for introverts to use, because they are who usually have the hardest time making friends.
Competitor Analysis
From the competitor analysis several key insights can be gathered, such as a complete lack of friend making apps without the feel of "Tinder" or "swiping" style dating apps, which focus on appearance and one-on-one interactions.
