Company Summary

Hello is a mobile app offering chat around locations. You don't need any previous contact with people in the same place. You'll be hidden behind a nickname.

It's quite easy: if you walk thru the area of an existing chatroom , you'll get notified and you'll be able to chat with the people inside. Otherwise, if you open your app and you're not in a chatroom, you'll scroll our map that contains chats available around you. You'll have to walk there to join the conversation.

But you'll be able to spawn a brand new chatroom directly from your smartphone if you want. Pick a free name or choose a place from our list and create it around that location. Enforce chat detection linking it with its WiFi antenna. Everything with few taps.

It will last for 24 hours. Ask your friends to unlock more time or pay for it thru in app purchases.

There's a B2B business model too.
Businesses and shops could buy their own chatroom online without any local beacon or technician. Premium services include ads, branding and analytics.

We currently have a working app on the AppStore. It's like IRC for cities and POIs.
We're pivoting on this new version and we need funding for that. Android version is under development. We already have backend for premium venues. We need to adapt it to the new model.
