At The Pool, the Los Angeles-based social discovery platform, is today rolling out a big re-design that sees the startup becoming laser-focused on creating the “anti-Facebook” social network for young people. In its February 10-K report, Facebook said that it is at risk of losing young users to other services that are similar to or act “as a substitute for Facebook.”
Back in July, we introduced you to At The Pool, a Los Angeles-based startup that thinks you could use some new people in your life. Said another way, the company is social discovery network that aims to be the anti-Facebook (and anti-Twitter for that matter). Rather than connecting you to people you already know, At The Pool is on a mission to introduce you to people you’ve never met before, offline, taking the potential awkwardness out of the equation by matching you based on your interests.
Happy weekend, readers! Unless your boss is making you work this weekend, you’ve got two days of freedom ahead of you. If you want to spend that time making new friends or meeting people with similar interests, a new startup called At The Pool can help.
The social network sends users a different match, based on their location, history, interests and intent (their pols) every day in an email. Users are encouraged to connect on- and offline. The site officially launches Monday—it’s had beta launches already—with a “Silicon Beach Pool” aimed at the LA Tech scene. However, the At The Pool team has launched a “TechCrunch Pool” for readers that is live now.
