WHY_
The SDG target that we are focusing on solving is loneliness which is second most important metric for life expectance only overruled by smoking tobacco. It’s a pressing issue for all individuals, but more so for young people challenged with anxiety, depression and eating disorders are increasing like never before.
According to studies ( Holt-Lunstad et al., 2010 ) & ( Julianne Holt-Lunstad et al., 2017 ) lacking social connection carries a great risk that is comparable, and in many cases, exceeds that of other well-accepted risk factors, including smoking up to 15 cigarettes per day, obesity, physical inactivity, and air pollution
Every individual on earth must have access to reducing experiences of loneliness and increasing highly personal and social experiences to be remembered in their lives. Calibre Social solution guides the fostering of meaningful platonic friendships and memorable life experiences. Making IRL social and experiences more accessible.
HOW_
We are making IRL activities as accessable as possible and thereby not following the traditional ‘doomscrolling business model'' within the social networking industry. We design and develop our app with a clear mission in mind - while applying critical technical practice (CTP). We hope to work closely with small businesses as we build the ideal social platform for the experience economy.
Improve experience economy SMEs in reaching their customers more effectively.
Compared to current offers in the market that is optimized for e-commerce, consumers interested in shopping and material values. Our model will be able to increase customer retention for the IRL SMEs that are provding the real life, highly personal, greatly memorable and immaterial value for individuals across the world.
