The problem
Moving abroad is lonely.
International students often struggle to build social connections and discover useful opportunities after moving abroad. Existing tools serve either academics or social — never both.
The opportunity
“Create one digital community connecting students beyond academics.”

Product thinking
Why the MVP is community first.
It is tempting to ship every feature at once. But without a healthy community layer, jobs and events have no participants and no signal. The MVP intentionally focuses on the core connection experience — everything else compounds from there.
