Concept:
A social app (with Bill Gates as lead investor) that helps users find and share great experiences. Likewise uses AI and recommendations from friends to provide curated suggestions for TV shows, movies, books, podcasts, restaurants, and more.
Heard:
“Likewise helps people maximize their leisure time in a positive-only space. There are already enough sites that focus on negativity, so we made it a place where users come to recommend things they love.”
