String

For everything you want to do, JUST NOT ALONE.

The String team

We live in a culture that is always online, yet often deeply disconnected. It has never been easier to reach people, but still surprisingly hard to meet in real life. Often, the barrier is simple: people assume meeting others will feel harder, awkward, or less welcome than it actually is.

Founded by CMU students, String helps people create public micro-plans in the moment, discover live activity nearby, and join what others are already doing in real time. It gives people just enough of a starting point to turn intention into action.

It is an activity-first platform built for spontaneity. No heavy planning. No endless back-and-forth. Just a simple way to turn intention into shared experience.

From coffee runs and late-night food trips to impromptu city adventures or something as ordinary as a walk, String turns everyday moments into opportunities to connect.

So if you have moved somewhere new, want fresh experiences in a familiar city, or simply want more people to do everyday things with, String is for you.
