Every Person is a New Door to a Different World
In The Room’s brief insight to why…
Every person in the world sees the world in a different light, and perceives the world to be a different place. The beauty about meeting new people is that they can expose you to exactly what they see. It can open your eyes to things, new ideas, hopes, dreams, and opportunities. You may even discover something about yourself that you never knew before. Different people bring out different aspects of yourself. With one friend you may be more prone to being reserved and self reflective, while with another you may be outgoing and flamboyant. Thats what friends are for. They allow you to be yourself when you are not alone.

Think about your greatest achievements, most memorable moments, or favorite places to visit. Chances are these memories involve at least one individual who helped make this moment memorable for you. Life is enhanced exponentially when we connect with the right individuals because connecting with people is a core foundation of life.
Unfortunately, its not as easy to connect. You’d think through us having access to anyone in our pocket we’d be more connected but in actuality we are more disconnected. Sure, we have access to family around the world but what about the individuals in your area.
Macro focused social apps like Facebook have succeed in letting us know what’s happening around the world and giving us access to billions of people and information in our pocket. However, these macro focused platforms are failing to help us truly connect with the people we are around. We can have hundreds of friends and followers on social media but be disconnected in real life.
For example, when you’re attending a social event the question is usually who should I talk to? To overcome this some of the following things happen, social anxiety, “working the room” (whatever that means), wasted time, non productive small talk (perhaps about the weather). On the other side people form “cliques” with individuals they already know which causes new people to be outcasted unless they announce to the entire room “HEY I’M XYZ,” which is unlikely.
Lets take one step forward, say you meet an individual. Searching for common ground, the social interaction looks like a dance. One or two missteps can cause this potential friendship take a back seat.
The way we interact with our surroundings is broken, its flawed and we are too connected online for this to still be an issue in our daily lives.
We believe we can solve this issue by building an app that’s focused on the micro, connecting those in the communities in which they live.
Through a micro focused lens, In The Room can connect people in the moment based on time and location. Being able to connect many people, individually, in the moment, helps everyone as a whole. Big things happen, one connection at a time. That’s where the value of In The Room lives: being the best at connecting people while creating priceless moments.
If people are doors of experiences, information, connections, love, and life in general, we aim to help individuals find their door to a memorable moment.
