Company Summary

Qork solves the hyperlocal problem (“What’s happening now in my area?”) by making sharing local content as easy as writing a tweet. Users contribute geo-located posts, called “qorks,” which are presented on a map and in a feed. A qork is any locally relevant content, including events, comments, & deals. Qorks are ranked in real-time based on levels of activity.

We want Qork to become the default platform for sharing/discovering local content.
