We have created a global happiness platform that combines social media, an e-commerce marketplace, and a search engine, focusing on promoting mental and emotional well-being + general wellness, sustainability, & uplifting community. We believe that the current state of the internet is missing an opportunity to connect people with what they're looking for and businesses with their ideal clients. The ad centric model used by facebook, google, etc... means that platforms are incentivized to not make connections unless the business has the money & skill to pay for marketing on their platforms. We are creating a platform where people can find what they're looking for (events, products, services, information, & connections with people & businesses) in an organic & easy way. We want people & businesses to want to share information with us about who they are, what they are offering (& who would benefit most from it), what they're looking for etc...
We want people to search, for example, about an illness (or any challenge) and immediately see a list of what is working the best for the most people based on personal experiences & research etc...
We want a business to be able to set up shop in minutes and have sales come in immediately (like on airbnb) because we will have people searching the site actively, and tags that link people with businesses. Content will be all created by the community on the platform, and UNITE will be creating media with interviews, vlogs, podcasts, etc... The "LoveFeed" will be a place to see uplifting content. We are positioning the site to be a wellness platform, not a news site. People will completely control their tags which will filter content into their feed & notifications etc... So if someone is seeing content they don't like, they can see why they saw it and change their settings. Our MVP will feature a "Free Store" (Gift economy), "Vision Boards" & "Success Stories" (crowdsourced research on what's working best for people). Future Features:
- Tracking your emotional state throughout your time on the site, & tagging content with data like, this video is great for helping people move from depression to hopefulness.
- A corporate wellness tool
- Connections for housing, jobs etc... (and a way to easily track & pay rent/team members).
- Memberships like amazon prime & classpass
- Affiliate functionality so that everyone on the site can get automatically rewarded when they share content that leads to a sale. We are in the process of building our MVP (www.unite.love).
