WHO WE ARE
Blupe has been completely conceived and created by a small team in San Francisco, but our origins and future support stem from "Momo", a popular networking app in China. This Beijing based company was founded in 2011 with the goal of creating a location based app that connected individuals in the hectic and crowded environment of Chinese cities. They have cultivated a user-base of 147.7M registered users as of June 2014, and in their success wanted to reinterpret the idea for the US market.
WHY WE'RE DOING THIS
We believe there is a hole in the market for a location-focused social networking app. So much of our lives are spent staring down at a little screen, connecting with people on the other side of the planet and interacting with our third grade math teacher. We've found that making connections with our neighbors and community to be difficult, and as such are attempting to provide a personal and relevant experience where people can get involved in the world right outside their front door.
