BUZZ - Pick a VENUE, MATCH and MEET Buzz is a dating meets nightlife events App where users can find out about unique experiences and events near them, match at our partnered venues, and meet within minutes. WHY BUZZ? Nowadays, people are spending too much time on dating apps and not getting a desired outcome. Singles spend so much time matching that they’re not actually connecting and meeting in-person. It often ends up leaving people with dating app fatigue, feeling dejected and disappointed. When did dating become such a drag? That’s where Buzz comes in. All you have to do is find one of our partnered venues near you, go out, match, meet and create meaningful in-person interactions. We also have a compatibility test to help you find quality matches as we believe there is more to you than just your pictures. HOW DOES BUZZ WORK? ● The hotspot feature allows users to view unique experiences and events in their area at any given time so they can plan their night accordingly. ● We believe there is more to people than just their physical appearance so we help users match based on our compatibility test to find others with similar traits. ● User can match and meet with people within a 500 meter radius to them ● We prevent cat-fishing by letting users only take selfies so that your online presence matches the real you. ● After two users have matched, they will be prompted to set up a time, meeting spot, and a 250 character message. To increase the safety of the users, we let them choose meeting spots based on our preferred partner venues such as bars, restaurants or clubs near them. ● No more games, no more ghosting and false hope. Pick a venue, go out, match and meet.
