A Manchester based team of Greek Cypriots are in the running to win £250,000 in funding and the chance to pitch to Sir Richard Branson after designing a revolutionary new take on the social app.
Currently in 8th place and rapidly rising through the ranks, the small team of visionaries is shaping up to be one of the most prominent entries in Virgin Media Business’s ‘Pitch To Rich’ competition.
The app is unique as it goes beyond the digital and places emphasis on providing you with a real-world social experience. Bubble uses your interests and location to find things you’d like to do in your surrounding area as well as people to do them with encouraging users to connect with the people and places outside their digital life. Bubble wants users to build adventures making everyday a new experience.
Although the app is primarily aimed at tourists and travelers, its simple and intuitive user interface, location sensitive newsfeed and fully-fleshed out chat functions make the app extremely promising; so much so that it may in fact become a serious contender for existing heavyweights in the social networking industry.
Bubble wants to help people explore the world around them, learn from the people they meet and grow these experiences into something real and beautiful.
The app is set for release in the first quarter of 2016.
