Hey Product Hunters,
I'm Serge Shagal, one of the minds behind Presence. In our hyper-connected world, we've lost touch with real, personal interactions. Presence is here to change that.
How it started:
My journey as an immigrant revealed a harsh reality: Although I had a vast online network, there were no people I could meet in real life like I had at home. I had yet to learn how to connect in person with members of my global online communities. At the same time, I often noticed friends in LinkedIn and WhatsApp groups asking, "Is anyone at WebSummit today?", "I have a long layover in Istanbul. Anyone up for coffee in Kadikoy?", "Who wants to go to The Weeknd concert together tomorrow?" It got me thinking - is there a better way to connect?
And that is where the idea for Presence was born.
Presence connects you with people who share your interests, culture, background, and communities. Our discovery and matchmaking approaches take advantage of:
1. AI technology
2. Geographic proximity
3. Diverse groups, from local running clubs to global product manager communities
As a community leader, you can be the catalyst for these meaningful connections by creating your own community.
Join over 20,000 digital nomads and creatives and explore hundreds of communities worldwide!
We are a small team and your feedback is very valuable to us. We see a huge gap in real world interactions and see a mission in getting people out and exploring the world together.
Thank you for your support!
PS. We have created a community for you to join and instantly meet other Product Hunters! Join with Presence: https://presence.bio/product_hunt
@serge_shagal Congrats on the launch! And thanks for building a tool for the people, I like the idea behind it. Wishing you and Presense lots of success 🚀
@l1berty@adelinaak thank you, I am personally very excited and inspired by this day, launch and all people who will learn about Presence thank to Product Hunt!
Have supported and joined the app! As someone who has lived in multiple countries this is a great way of networking and growing connections both online and offline.
Will you be introducing more steps for verification? It was simple and easy to sign up but the fact that people can see your location from far to close proximity (which I will add you can toggle bluetooth off or on as you want) it would be good to have an added layer of verification.
@mujaji Thank You! We're really inspired by the problem that most nomads, travelers and expats face and here to create a streamlined tool to address it. Hope people enjoy the experience!
Would really love to connect with communities here. Absolutely love the idea and the potential it holds. Kudos to team for coming up with this idea and achieving it with seamless journey on app. 10/10 for UX.
Go grab the #1 today. 😊
This is a super cool idea! Especially when travelling, it can be hard to meet new people and feel connected in community. I think this is a great app and I hope it goes far. Congrats on the launch! 🥂
Congratulation on the launch! An essential product for those who have moved to completely new place, especially introverts like me) All the best with the launch and growth!
@kgrebenjukov, what kind of professional communities are you looking for? It’s important for us to know so we can understand which communities we can add the most value to!
Congratulations on the Great Launch!
Have you considered focusing on specific Geo-Locations during launch and then expanding to increase the demand in these areas and start seeing value?
What are the current locations? For example if I'm in Stockholm, Sweden? Will I be able to connect with people around me?
I've been using Precense for a while. It helped me to find communities everywhere I go. Also! It helped me to reconnect with my high school classmate – I stumbled upon her in the app when I was in Berlin!
@norwen, wow, no way! We would love to hear about this case and maybe even use it to show people how it works. Could you maybe send a message to my Presence at https://presence.bio/adelina1?
Presence team, I absolutely love the idea of your product! Congrats on the launch and thank you for developing it! One question: what is its geographical coverage?
Great work, guys! Heard about your Erevan case, looking forward to use your product in my home location (Barcelona, Spain). Problem you're working on is very familiar to me and my co-founders, so keep going and good luck on launch.
