Radiate connects people around the music festivals & events they attend - but it's not a dating app. We have over 120 festivals on Radiate, each with their own forum, swipe stack, and group chats where attendees can meet each other.
Hey everyone, and thanks for hunting us Chris!
Michael and I have been a fan of the PH community for awhile, and we’re excited to finally have something of our own being shared on here! We’re looking forward to hearing your feedback, and will be around today to answer any questions 🙂
Origin story below:
For the most part, we came up with the idea for Radiate after we had a conversation about why it was so much harder to meet new people after graduating from college/leaving the school system in general.
After some brainstorming, we came up with the theory that school provides a window of opportunity where special rules around social interactions apply. For instance, remember how normal it was for someone to sit down next to you in class and start a conversation? This behavior is not the norm on an NYC subway or an SF street corner - but why not?
What we realized was social inhibitions tend to dissipate when people enter a new shared environment where they experience similar things. Think of the interactions between young adults staying at the same hostel while traveling abroad, people on the same cruise, attendees at a music festival, and so on. The thing about these shared experiences is many are too short to give the same volume of happenstance connections that going to college can provide.
That’s why we built Radiate. We figured if we could take shared experiences, and give people more opportunities to connect around them, we’d be able to create a unique environment where social inhibitions dissipate, helping people connect with each other more often around the shared experiences they love 🥳
We’ve made over 4 million connections to date based on the above and it’d be helpful if you let us know what you think of what we’ve built, and what other types of experiences you think people could connect around!
Love this app. It’s made my festival experiences so much better, especially as someone who doesn’t have a lot of friends that like going to festivals. Now I h e a whole new friend group that I made from using Radiate. It’s been awesome being part of the Radiate community and way more people need to hear about it!
Pros:
Connect with likeminded people
Make festival buddies
Festivals are more fun with friends!
Great UX/UI
Have made lasting friendships
I truly love Radiate. From connecting with strangers to making new friends to meeting up with like minded people for festivals and shows. Radiate has truly reshaped the way meeting new people can be. I have met truly amazing people through this app, people that have become my close friends today!
Radiate is a platform or tool designed to help users with productivity, personal growth, or habit building, but I’d need more specifics to give a more detailed opinion. If it’s aimed at encouraging positive habits or improving daily routines, it sounds like a valuable tool for helping people stay motivated and organized. Does it focus on any specific feature or goal?
This app is great to find friends at festivals, etc. However, living in Wisconsin it's not that helpful to find events or connect with individuals around this area which is what I was really hoping for! :(
