Making friends in New York shouldn't be this hard. Sally is a members-only social app for New Yorkers (soon to be other cities) who are tired of scrolling and want to actually meet people — built around shared interests, not endless swiping. HOW IT WORKS Open Star Packs — interest-based worlds like Coffee Lovers, Cocktail Connoisseurs, Film Fanatics, and Bookaholics. Pick the ones that are you, and answer one honest question in each. Those answers become your Star Qualities: the truest version of you on your profile. Sally matches you with people who genuinely share your world — then nudges you to actually go do something about it. Grab coffee. Hit a bar. Find a bowling lane. There's a map where you star the spots that make your city yours, and see where your community goes too. WHY SALLY IS DIFFERENT - Members-only — every profile is reviewed by a real person - Interest-first — you match on what you actually love, not just a photo - Built to get you offline — the goal is a real hangout, not a longer chat - No infinite scroll, no performing — just people worth meeting Whether it turns into a friendship or something more is entirely up to you. Sally is free to use. Optional in-app purchases are available but never required. Now go meet someone. Stay whimsy. Met Through Sally LLC · New York, NY

Boosted turns digital support into real-world recognition. $1 = 10 seconds of real screen time on LED billboards and digital screens — not a metaphor, an actual display in the physical world. Discover artists, brands, and causes you care about and back them with a Boost. Every boost adds real seconds to their screen time, moves them up the Boosted Board leaderboard, and earns you Fan Status — Day One, Top Booster, Inner Circle, and more — as a Certified Real Fan. Follow campaigns like My Jamaica Boosted, track your own Boosting and Boosters, and share your Fan Status card to show the world who you back and how far you've helped take them. Boosted is fan-powered: no bots, no manufactured hype — just real people spending real money to put the people, brands, and causes they love onto real screens in the real world.
