FirstMove

Happy New Year! ✨ Today isn't just the start of a new calendar year; it's a chance to turn the page and begin a new chapter. It's time for reflection, renewal, and reconnection. What's one intention you have for building better connections in the year ahead?

@eliana_jordan yes

be honest, could you build a full app without AI?

@NiohBerg This is why we created FirstMove. People actually need to meet.

Tiktok is just full of people in Britain wanting to escape. "The UK makes me fed up with life... How is the standard tax 20%? For what? Rainy and windy and cold... you pass a million people in a day, nobody even looks up. Nobody wants to speak." This guy says in the comments he'd love to leave but is stuck in the current miserable state of the country.

@s_chiriac People attend events and gatherings but often don't meet anyone. firstmove.live connects you with others at live events to spark genuine conversations. It is social, IRL as it should be.

💸 I want to support your startup! I'll buy your service. Explain why and share your link in the comments.

@paulg @ycombinator Couldn’t agree more. Validated @firstmove.live at AfroNation festival in Portugal in July, Wimbledon in tournament and today at the Nothinghill Carnival in London. Users feedback is important. We’ve learned the use cases for firstmove.live from users.

The danger of working in secret is inversely proportional to the simplicity and precision of the test. It would be safe to work in secret for a year on a new rocket engine. But if you work in secret for a year on a new social network, it will probably be a flop.

@ycombinator firstmove.live is born of personal passion, built on core strengths, and fills an unrecognized gap in live-event social tech.

"The very best startup ideas tend to have three things in common: they're something the founders themselves want, that they themselves can build, and that few others realize are worth doing." Paul Graham on how to get startup ideas:

The ability to activate FirstMove anywhere with just two people transforms it from an event companion into a social infrastructure layer. It shifts the platform from being event-dependent to being user-driven.

FirstMove turns any space festival, café, conference, you name it into a live, private micro-event. Step into a geofenced Vibe Zone, handshake, spark an ephemeral chat and make real connections in one tap. firstmove.live
