Nicolas Ganby, a 30 -year -old entrepreneur, is eager for a friend of friends when she moved to London after the epidemic, but she was shocked to find herself isolated in one of the largest cities in the world.
Ganby, co -founder of the Social and Societies application, descended from Nottingham in the UK and settled in London with its partner, Jason Elev in 2021, long after a long time in Australia.
Gunby and Iliffe expected to become an integral part of the city’s social scene, but soon I found that meeting people was a struggle.
“How can you be in the city of millions of people, but you are struggling to find a real relationship?” Gunby said. “I really felt impossible.”
Nicolas Gonbi and her husband Jason Eneit participated in the founding of Click together.

Gunby tried everything. The events of the networks came to female institutions, but they found them very companies. It even turned into applications like BUBLE BFF, which was found to be “super transactions”, while Facebook groups were outdated.
Soon Gunby and IIIFFE realized that the issue was much larger than themselves and began to think about the idea of a social communication platform that brought people together in real life.
After setting some plans, they appointed Application Agency to build and try application marks in universities.
CLIQ, established in February 2023, is described as an antidote to stereotypes. Users can join societies that focus on their interests and hobbies that can range from running, reading, tiles and religious groups.
The purpose of societies is to arrange events so that users can meet personally and Kindle friendships.
“It makes it easy to meet people in an authentic way … and teaching people to put their phone, which is very difficult on this day and this age when the screen time is very high and we are addicted to our phones,” said Gunby.

Feeling unity is a global issue
The creation of Cliq comes while people search for communications amid what has been described as “Epidem of lonely. “
A poll of the global unit in GallupThat collected data in 2023, showed that one out of every five people surveyed all over the world felt unit “a lot of today”. The same demographic was likely to tell people that they felt angry or physical pain.
The American surgeon’s report highlighted General Vivek Moreti in 2023, “The Epity of Unity and Isolation” highlighted that unity has become an increasing issue across generations, which is a great danger to physical health that contributes to things such as dementia, stroke, or even premature death.
“It is a 100 % global issue,” Gonbi explained. “We have made the epidemic more introverted as people … I think it has made many people a little afraid of social media again.
“This comes out of the works now, and people want this in real life,” she added.
The issue of unity has also been exacerbated through technology and social media, according to Gunby.
“We feel very connected through our phones so that we can see what our friends or influencers are doing constantly, but many of these people who do not see, so we feel that we are connected to the surface level, but when we look deeper down, we are actually no.”
“The unit crisis is escalating up and up, and many people are looking for a connection, but none of the applications do nothing to solve this.”
The American surgeon, General Vivek Mortth, recently told “The OPRAH PODCAST” that one of the solutions is not more focus on ourselves, but attention to the world outside us through investing in three things: relations, service and society.
“When we focus on communicating with something greater than ourselves, this is in fact when we find joy,” Opera Winfrey said in a episode in January of Podcast.
“A real social network”
Gunby said the reason behind the work of Cliq is that its societies are working around a common interest and goal. She described a distinction between social networking applications and social media applications.
Gunby said, the application of social networks is less about content consumption and more about communicating with friends, citing the old days of Facebook as an example.
“The younger generation, and we talk to many of them … they have never experienced what the real social network is,” she said. “Each one platform has since been social media, so Instagram, Tiktok, for example. We are just consumed. We are happy. We are addicted to our phones.”
“We are not in fact communicating with anyone, and he takes away this interaction face to face,” she added.
CLIQ collaborates with GymshaK to put a walking event.

She said that CLIQ is the middle land between the “kind social media feeling”, which makes it easy to meet people.
“For this reason, we wanted to create a hybrid model from: You communicate with people online before connecting to a non -connection mode,” she said.
She noted that social events are often difficult for more introverted characters and it may be embarrassing to have a conversation with a random person when you have nothing to do. With Cliq, the activity is common concern.
“Then you go to the running club as socially, you may be really shy and do not want to open up, but you can talk about running. You go to a book club. Maybe I don’t want this to talk about myself, but you are talking about the book.”
“If you have this common concern with someone, or do this activity, or is the community’s focus on something, you have something to open with it.”
