Make the connections that matter! If you are at a professional conference and are looking for someone who can help you in a specific way, perhaps an investor, or a particular expert, but don't know which stranger among hundreds to talk with...IceBrekr is your wingman. You can view and filter for the type of connection you are looking for. If you are at a coffee shop counter getting your coffee and make eye contact with someone you want to meet, but can't introduce yourself because your business contact is waiting, IceBrekr can rescue that opportunity. Quickly see their profile on IceBrekr and message your interest. Or use private reciprocal matching ('star' them), and if they star you then you will both be notified. If you are on the subway train and cannot introduce yourself to someone because it is too crowded or that person is already in a deep conversation, IceBrekr can be your wingman. The IceBrekr app enables IceBrekr users to make connections with each other when they are within viewable distance of each other. Utilizing the same type of technology as other peer-to-peer sharing and communication signaling, IceBrekr provides visibility of profiles based upon user filters and preference, and within a distance that enables visual confirmation. Through a discovery screen which users can opt-in to display their one-picture profile to other users within eyeball distance, IceBrekr allows users to notify each other, either in a personal or professional context, of their interest in connecting. IceBrekr does not use GPS in delivering it's connection capability but simply make use of the 'Location' package to maintain background while the app screen is off as you are seated in your session at the conference, or standing in line at the coffee bar, exactly how music apps do. If you are not interested in connecting with a person that you see in your Discovery screen, or that has sent a notification, an option to mute them enables a temporary disappearance of both users from each others' Discovery screen---or you can also block them permanently. Physically make the move and go say 'hi', or send them an IceBrekr if you want to. 'Shoot your shot' in person, or via IceBrekr, but you no longer have to ask yourself "What if?" FEATURES: All features are available in every Subscription Plan Level A Professional & Personal Connection Utility. Display your profile according to your comfort level or your goals. What are you looking for? How can others help you? Or how can you help others? Share your "headline" or your elevator pitch. Connect with users who are in proximity. No longer must you hope a Platform or Algorithm will bring you the connections you need. Our vision is that you will soon be able to go to where the type of connections are that you are looking for. Seek out your tribe. Private reciprocal matching. If you have an interested in a person, "star" their profile. They will not know unless they "star" you back. Only then will you both be notified. Filter your nearby search. No need to stare at the screen until the right connection appears. Set up your filter and then be notified only when the conditions of interest are met and the person is nearby or at the same event as you. Show key professional or social media links. Do you want to share a link to your resume or to your latest Single on Spotify or to your PayPal or other links? No problem. www.icebrekr.com/terms www.icebrekr.com/privacy
