corner

@khushkhushkhush @signulll is anyone cool actually writing google or yelp reviews? def not so why use the data :/

@signulll @buildyourcorner this is prob the only app i really use outside of x and insta. cool place location discovery on tap. good photos and thoughtful reviews. their ai search has gotten really good lately too helped me find my fav restaurant in paris, called tekes

one thing i found super interesting is that for local queries claude has access to google places api whereas it looks like chatgpt has to rely on yelp. super interesting. for local queries i almost always gravitate towards claude because of this.

Needed to find something fast but still delicious after a work trip in Cleveland. As always, @buildyourcorner comes in clutch. 📍Il Rione 🇮🇹🔥🤌🏽

an easy hack to avoid summer interns when going out

all we had was a snack trolley and a dream. gave out over 500 qr codes and fliers in the busiest nyc neighborhoods. turns out when you meet people where they're at (hungry and waiting on line), they're willing to hear you out.

Places are increasingly made popular by influencers, TikTok, and Instagram. The result: insane lines for spots that are often good, but rarely worth that much hype. So curation matters more than ever. You need trusted filters that help you find actual quality and cut through the noise. A few I trust: - Beli - @buildyourcorner - @pi_fyi

@TJ_Kawa now import all of them to corner

For years I saved my favorite places into Google Maps lists and shared them with friends. I finally turned it all into one site. All my favorite places across every city I've visited. Searchable, tagged, with aggregated reviews (including local sources like Tabelog), and reservation links. Browse around and let me know which spots stand out. tjkawamura.com/travel

the floodgates are open... aka DMs are live on corner. who knew a map could bring more people together than dating apps?

@matiassingers intern is fired

@buildyourcorner and I are both extremely pumped for the weekend roundup

1.86m apps on the U.S. app store. only 365 app of the day's a year. @buildyourcorner is the first app @jakexia27 and i ever built and we will die on this hill: we are the first generation to have *more of other people's memories* than our own. take a second to think about that. when our users are 90, we want them to look back on their corner profiles and remember all of the adventures they've been on and how much of the world they explored. not how much they scrolled. a small win for the team today. winning apple's design award has always been one of our side quests. one step closer!

@temnco @yongfook we do!!

@yongfook curious if @buildyourcorner got tokyo fans

Currently in Tokyo. Love this city so much but I always find it hard to get work done here. Combination of so many things I want to do, and lack of good casual work spaces. Any good laptop friendly recommendations? Ideally east side but west also ok.

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!!!
