Branch vs Currents ≈

We're building the future of community connection, one branch at a time. Our Mission The essence of online networking has been lost. Networking platforms are noisy, crowded, and impersonal. It's harder than ever to build and sustain meaningful professional relationships. Genuine connections are formed through shared interests, hobbies, and values, not job titles. The most rewarding collaborations emerge from existing communities we did, do, or will belong to. These communities are everywhere: alumni networks, research circles, Greek life, faith and cultural groups. Their power is buried in outdated group chats and directories, waiting to be discovered. Branch is your home to organize these circles, discover opportunities within them, and give back to others. Our mission is to make networking simple, intentional, and rooted in real relationships. Cut through the weeds, and spend more time connecting with the people who matter most, all in one place. Branch — Groups, feed, and messaging in one place. Branch keeps your communities connected. Create or join groups, share posts, send messages, and get important announcements—all in a single app. FEED & POSTS Share updates, photos, and ideas with your group. See what others post and react with comments. Everything stays in the group so the right people see it. MESSAGING Chat one-on-one or in group conversations. Send text, reply to messages, and use voice messages when typing isn’t enough. Stay in the loop with real-time chat and push notifications. ANNOUNCEMENTS Group admins can send announcements so everyone gets the message. No important updates lost in the feed. GROUPS Organize by team, cohort, club, or community. Join with an invite or link and manage who’s in each group. Your groups live in one app instead of scattered across different tools. PROFILE & PRIVACY Set your name and profile picture. Use QR codes to connect in person. Branch is built to keep your conversations and data secure. Whether you’re coordinating a team, running a club, or keeping a community in sync, Branch gives you one place to post, chat, and stay connected. Download Branch and bring your groups together.
