corner

couldn’t sleep last night, went to update my apple maps list w recent spots but ui now sucks, so tried out @buildyourcorner and accidentally locked in and now i’m #5 all time in toronto and #2 globally this week

IRL is going to crush AI over the next 5 years. In the last 3 months, $750M+ in capital was deployed on "anti-AI" bets. Big players are doubling down on their investments in events, experiences and in-person connection. Here's what I'm seeing: @cornerapp, a social map app for Gen Z, has grown to 60K+ users helping people curate and share places to meet IRL—"Google Maps but social." Everyone ik in NYC loves them. @partiful, @poshvip_, and @LumaHQ have raised a combined $60M and are exploding. Partiful hit 500K+ MAU, Posh hit 6 million registered users, and Luma has over 2 million users signing up for events. Harvard alum @aidaxbaradari just launched @be_inaudible, the first smart device to stop unwanted audio recordings and keep IRL conversations private. @mcuban made a massive bet, investing in Burwoodland, a NYC-based live-events company behind IRL experiences in the US, Canada, and Europe. Former COO and CPO of Hinge officially launched Rodeo to help people spend more time IRL with friends. @a16z keeps doubling down on IRL via investments and a16z Build — a dinner series and community for founders / operators figuring out their next move. @nazzari, @katiekirsch, @eriktorenberg. Billion-dollar companies are paying $$$ for community and events leads: - @AnthropicAI: Events Lead - $320k - @Substack: Events Lead - $190k - @VaynerMedia: Head of Experiential - $250k - @Spotify: Global Experiential & Content - $175k - @BiltRewards: Director of Events & Experiences - $150k Investors are pouring billions of dollars into AI. But smart money is quietly deploying millions into IRL at the same time. a16z backs both OpenAI and Partiful. ElevenLabs and Substack. The nuance is - it's not AI vs. IRL. It's that the more we live online, the more premium real-life connection becomes. They're not competing investments. They're a hedge on each other.

new year, new corner!! excited to share some new features we just dropped in the app. download it now and give it a try :)

@ImpactForward yayyy

Once again, @buildyourcorner comes through! On a work trip to SF and my colleague hadn't been here before (shocking). He wanted oysters and first app I went to find a spot was Corner. 📍That led us to Popi's Oysterette in Marina District. Ridiculous raw and grilled oysters and the grilled crab pasta was 🔥🤌

i’m usually quite critical of new social media meets maps apps but @buildyourcorner is a welcomed exception

@brynkerslake woah thank you 🫶🏻

@t_mrx so sick love!!!

Looking for 10 other players — who’s in? ⚽️ Concept jersey for Amassa, inspired by the incredible work of @buildyourcorner. Go check their app 👀

@JohnBoyega @DoorDash 🤧🤧🤧

@_kentw @spottedinprod @buildyourcorner It would be such a shame

@_kentw @spottedinprod 💀💀💀🫣🫣🫣🫣🫣

@spottedinprod @buildyourcorner would be a shame if doordash came along and copied...

icon of the day: corner

I’m a bit of a startup otaku - whenever a new app comes out, I try it first. I just added my favorite restaurants and cafés in Japan to @buildyourcorner, especially Tokyo or Sapporo corner.inc/list/763c8323-…

@_kentw @aridutilh this one was good lmao

@aridutilh @buildyourcorner we have corner at home corner at home

This is such a blatant clone of @buildyourcorner competition is fine, poorly done copy pastes are disappointing and cringe

@CPrabhaswara 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
