IcebreakerReady

Never arrive cold.

Start conversations around places and experiences before walking in.

Built for real life. Not endless scrolling.

The best moments don't always announce themselves. They happen nearby — at a rooftop, a campus, a coffee shop, a market, or a venue. Proximate helps you notice them before they're gone.

“Found a live quiz night in Hazelwood 15 minutes after opening the app. Turned a boring Wednesday into one of the best nights I’ve had.”

“The map showed me a rooftop games night happening right near me in Hazelwood. Met some great people and the vibe was perfect. Finally an app that delivers real local energy.”

Privacy first

Privacy is what makes real-world discovery feel safe.

People will not use a location-based social app unless they believe they stay in control. Proximate is designed around visibility you choose, not exact public exposure.

✓ Neighborhood privacy bubble instead of exact public position.
✓ Profile control before joining public conversations.
✓ Block, report, and leave conversations quickly.
✓ Verified venues and safety cues where available.
