Vicinity is social media with a purpose.
This platform isn't about addiction or divisive content; it's about uplifting communities and fostering real-world connections.
Our Mission:
Building Community, Empowering People.
An Epidemic of Loneliness
The Problem:
Addiction over Connection
Lack of Productivity
Lost Community
Vicinity will become people’s new third place.
Third places—those social spaces outside of home (your first place) and work (your second place)—have been disappearing, leaving fewer opportunities for people to connect and build community.
We’re here to change that.
building meaningful connects through
Targeted Events.
Vicinity makes it easy to find and attend events in your area. Find events nearby, see what your friends are attending, or get personalized recommendations through Vicinity’s smart algorithm.
Whether you’re hosting a party at your apartment with free or paid tickets, or joining recurring gatherings like book clubs, run clubs, or community meetups, Vicinity is designed to help you make meaningful connections. You don’t need a social inroad—just show up and let Vicinity introduce you to new friends and experiences. It’s time to go outside and be social!

Turning Clicks into Community
Through strategic partnerships and collaborations with local educational institutions, community centers, places of worship, and non-profit organizations, Vicinity will orchestrate a diverse array of volunteering events and initiatives.
We plan on hosting community meals for families in need, offering skills-based volunteering for white-collar workers, K-12 tutoring programs with college student mentors, and much more!
making online interactions more
Meaningful.
Vicinity transforms online connections into purposeful relationships by offering personalized recommendations for local artists, creators, business associates, new friends, and nearby businesses to engage with.
Our Good Works Program will integrate community service directly into the platform, bridging the gap between virtual interactions and real-life impact. Vicinity isn’t just another social media app—it’s a dynamic public square where meaningful connections are forged, and positive change begins.

A Dedicated Space.
Vicinity is a multimedia social platform designed to empower creators. From text posts, videos, and podcasts to entire articles, music, and events, users can share diverse content for free while retaining 100% ownership of their work.
For small creators—photographers, writers, video creators, and more—Vicinity goes the extra mile with a unique advertising model that makes it affordable to promote content, and for those creating high-quality work, we’ll promote it for free. Vicinity is here to amplify local voices and give creators the platform they deserve.
giving our users a
Voice.
On Vicinity, you won’t just be a user—you’ll be a decision-maker. Once launched, Vicinity will empower users to create and sign petitions, vote on site features, and elect representatives to a seven-member advisory board.
Our vetting system will ensure legitimate democratic participation. Together, we’ll build a true social media democracy where your voice drives the platform forward!
