Transcript of Yep! Startup
Charles Walsh - Client RKY - Yep! Sales Press Kit My name is Roman, co-founder of the lifestyle app Yep!. We created Yep! because, quite frankly, we’re sick of seeing people more interested in their smart phones than real life. Digital communication is great! We love it. But, we believe many people are beginning to live an unbalanced social life, with too much digital interaction. We believe this unbalance is making it increasingly difficult to meet new people. Yep! is a modern solution to making friendships with a digital twist, quickly and easily, in real time. Here’s how it works: choose an activity, make a request, and our app finds people nearby. If you both agree, a text and in-app calls becomes available to arrange a meeting. Think snapchat plus tinder, minus the dating. We designed Yep! as a solution to three major problems: 1. Too much online, and not enough offline activity. People spend way too much time on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media sites, and not enough time doing stuff with actual people. Yep! integrates your online and offline social life into one balanced system. Users can to choose an activity and set the rules, including time and a place, with new people nearby. 2. Not meeting new people. Meeting new people is a healthy part of life. It allows you to broaden your horizons and learn new things about yourself, others, and just have fun. Our app is also great for people who want to make new friendships right now, but don’t know where to look. Such as a person who just moved to New York City, and wants a jogging partner in one hour, or a college freshman, looking to start a football game after class. Yep! quickly puts you in touch with new friends without the awkwardness of a cold approach. 3. Boring lives. If you're spending too much time behind a screen, chances are, your real life is probably pretty dull. Yep! helps you to do fun things instantly, like race bikes with a stranger, rogue skydiving lessons, or grabbing ice cream and talking physics. Yep! is about real time, real events, right now. We believe life is about experience, which is why Yep! is a lifestyle app, and not a social media app. An active lifestyle is something we are very passionate about, and our app helps break people out of their shell, meet new people, and live a fun and balanced life instantly. From it’s AppStore launch, Yep! received 5,000 downloads in only 2 weeks, and we know Yep! is going to make a huge difference in many peoples lives. We had a decent response from our dating app Pure , which just passed it’s 110,000 download mark. We expect even better results with Yep!.
