In four months, we have wireframed the app and put together the optimal development stack, integrating the latest and greatest in graph database technology.

We’re ready now to hunker down for some serious development, but working only evenings and weekends means Kolūd may be years from completion.

What we’ll do with your support

If we meet our goal, our programmers will be able to take extended leave from their day jobs to focus on development, completing the alpha this winter, and delivering a fully-functional mobile-friendly website to our backers before next June. However,

The more contributions we receive, the sooner Kolūd will be a reality.

In fact, if we raise more than $300,000, our geeks will quit their day jobs to provide the mobile site some time next spring, followed by native apps for iPhone and Android as quickly as possible.

Funds beyond that will support the development of awesome new features, like:

• Find local events to add to your list

• See all available friends and the things you could do together

• Find an available babysitter in your neighborhood

More than a social life

We recognize that Kolūd has the potential to connect friends and communities, so we have decided that the value of your contribution will be offered to the non-profit of your choice to promote their activities on Kolūd.

What does that mean? It means that your non-profit will be able to recommend its event to users in its area who have relevant interests. Animal lovers will see that the Humane Society’s pet adoption day is coming up, and which of their friends want to attend. Those passionate about literacy will see that a local school needs volunteers to read with students next week. And your local arts organization will easily promote its next exhibit or performance, allowing it to focus more resources on its core mission: creating beauty and meaning.

And the swag
