The 5 founding principles of InPlaces
Places should have beautiful profiles. Like we do.
We see places as characters and we thought it would be terrible injustice to put these characters as just dots on a map or simply, aggregations. On the flip side, we wanted our users to not only find places but feel them.
Tapping into local expertise
No one knows a locality better than the locals themselves and people who frequent it. That’s the theory behind most of our features. We are truly excited by the possible outcomes of crunching such data when it comes to local discovery.
Beautiful & intelligent curation app
We truly value the purity of a place’s profile and that is exactly why we have placed strong emphasis on our curation layer. Beneath the simple UI one sees, there is a complex scoring mechanism that knows the kind of users the app should listen to!
The best things available at a place, moments from the past posted by you and your friends, recommendations from your friends and local experts, deals, coupons & recommendations from merchants
If you could consume all this in a very simple and instant way, that would make for an ideal in-store experience. And that’s what we want to offer.
Merchants and small business owners can use the very same app & it's features just like any other user to brand and market themselves. There is no separate merchant platform, no complex dashboards! Good riddance!
