Co-founder & CEO @Likealike

Likealike connects local events hosts with other likealike people in NYC.

The motivation behind Likealike is every year 50 million people visit the U.S for a business trip, school, or any other personal matters. Most of them flock to NYC to chase their dreams and test their mettle.

But for many, the thrill of arrival is often tempered by the sinking realization of what an alienating place the city can be, especially for those who do not have a pre-existing network of friends. You may feel the same if you remember the first year after you came to the city.

Likealike is designed to help people quickly make likealike friends the following ways:
* Likealike provides great meet-ups hosted by people who share common interests. So, you can simply follow them in order to subscribe to and join their future meet-ups.
* If you host a meet-up, Likealike provides you with a list of like-minded people nearby to invite to your meet-up. All you need to do is to see profile info of those users on the list and invite them to your meet-up.
* There’s no group in Likealike. So, if you are a host you don’t need to manage many members in your group. Once you schedule a meet-up, your followers receive notifications so they can easily catch up and join your events.
