An online marketplace for social activities, Lifecrowd makes it easy for
users to discover and participate in group activities—from sushi making to dodge
ball games—and connect them with friends and new people in their area. Lifecrowd
emphasizes casual settings with a typical group size of 8 to 10 people—big
enough to socialize without being overwhelming. All activities are created by
users, called "Hosts," and curated by the Lifecrowd team for quality.
At Lifecrowd, just choose your city, find activities and click to book your
spot or add future activities to your Life List. The site also allows users,
called "Enthusiasts," to sort and browse sessions by neighborhood and by type of
activity—which ranges from indulgent food experiences to physical activities
like rock climbing or yoga—and invite their friends to join in. Lifecrowd also
uses social filtering via Facebook and personalization methods to recommend
activities aligned with their interests.
"We want to encourage users to meet new people and try new activities," said
Lifecrowd CEO Bong Koh. "We are excited to bring
Lifecrowd to new cities and give people a whole new way to explore unique and
fun activities with their community."
"Lifecrowd represents the ultimate mashup between online social connections
and in-person activities that perfectly suits the adventuresome spirit of
today's consumer," said MuckerLab co-founder William
Hsu. "With Lifecrowd, it's easy to become part of something new to enrich
your life, expand your horizons and grow your social circle through a platform
that is accessible, convenient and fits the mobile lifestyle."
Enthusiasts can find a selection of outings, events and expert-led sessions,
view photos, read user reviews and reserve/pre-purchase spots for paid
activities. The site also lists a variety of volunteer opportunities, perfect
for individuals who want to participate in community service, but don't know
what's available, where to go or how to get started.
