The platforms we’re using to stay connected - to find community, search for local businesses or events - weren’t built to help communities thrive. They were built to disconnect us - to profit off of us, collect our data, and occupy our time and attention.

Presence was built for connection. To make the community around us easier to find, and to encourage real connection - not doom scrolling.

We built Presence because this technology doesn’t have to pull us away from the world around us - we believe it can be another way to become more present in it.

Traditional platforms weren't built for community.

WHY PRESENCE

Community is often hard to find - especially when the traditional platforms are limiting views and policing activist spaces.

The more accessible your community is, the more opportunities people have to participate, connect, and belong - and help your community to grow.

Reach the people who are looking for your community.

From word-of-mouth and group chats, to one trusted space.

So much community work spreads through flyers and posts, group chats and DMs. Presence helps bring all that information together.
