Company Summary

A social media platform that simplifies the meetings between a group of people wanting to watch a movie. Our venture enables users, through a series of genetic algorithms (artificial intelligence), to share their movie tastes with friends, thereby helping them to seamlessly identify the kind of movies that no one has seen before and that everyone will enjoy watching together. In the second stage, we will extend the same concept to books.
