We are freshmen at Babson College with an idea and the determination to pursue it.
The next big thing in social media is here. Introducing Beacon, the app that’s changing the way we interact with the people around us. Start by activating your very own beacon to see your nearby friends. Want to check another location? Drag and drop additional beacons onto the map and see who’s there. When you’re on the move, you can enable notifications that help you connect with friends near you when you otherwise would have missed them.
Our original inspiration for this app was to create a platform that would notify the user when they were near their friends in public. This would solve the problem of missing your friends at big venues such as concerts, festivals, or parades because you were not aware of their presence. We often go to these events and don’t realize that other people we know were there until afterwards. Starting only from this small idea, our app has grown into much more than we originally intended.
Building and launching an app is expensive! See what we’re paying for below.
We don’t have a lot to offer, but we think we’ve created some pretty cool perks.
