🔗 A map app for Gen Z to discover new places
Sydney Bradley @ businessinsider.com: “Their startup, Corner, has built a social mapping app that seeks to rival restaurant review stalwarts like Yelp and Tripadvisor. Corner's map doesn't give you directions but rather offers a new way to find places like restaurants, clubs, shops, and other small businesses that other app users have vetted.
Founded in 2022, Corner's map only has places that users have added themselves. That was a core product decision that Corner CEO Wu said went against some advice the two cofounders received, like "just scrape the internet." They wanted to have the app's Gen Z users build the map from the ground up. Three years later, the map has over 275,000 unique places saved.”
i've been using corner in hamburg a few times before we’ve had the baby (and before i’ve known it was built for gen z!). great new approach to check out new places, and even though we’re the 2 of 4 semi-active users in hamburg, we did actually find a few new places!
