## What is Blizu?

Blizu — for the life happening around you.

Your city is full of people you haven't met yet. Blizu makes them reachable.

Blizu is a real-time proximity app: start a live scan and see who's physically nearby and open to connecting — right now, wherever you are. New in a city and looking for friends, at a conference building your network, or just open to meeting someone new.

No swiping. No endless feed. No algorithm deciding who you see. You set your filters, you start scanning, and Blizu surfaces compatible people in your immediate surroundings. When the interest is mutual, you connect and meet in person.

Why Blizu:

Proximity-first — people actually near you, not across the city.
Events — check in with a scan and meet who's there with you.
You're in control — no hidden algorithm; both sides set filters and connect only on a mutual yes.
Your location is never revealed — others see that you're close, never where you are, and only while you're scanning.
Reveal on your terms — your name and photos can stay private until you choose to share them.
Optional ID verification — human-reviewed selfie check for trust. No facial recognition, no biometrics.
Matches expire in 5 hours — Blizu is for the moment, not for collecting profiles you'll never meet.
Blizu points your phone at the room you're in — genuine people nearby, open to connecting, right now.

Blizu is for adults 18+. Report and block tools are available everywhere, and you can delete your account anytime in settings.
