Location based social network for young entrepreneurs

Ambition is everywhere.
The people are hard to find.

MORE is a network built around where you are, what you are building, and who you are becoming.

The story

Why I had to build this.

I did not start MORE because I thought the world needed another social app.

I started it because I knew what it felt like to be young, ambitious, and surrounded by people while still feeling completely alone in what I was trying to build.

When you decide you want more for yourself, your life starts to look different.

You spend your time thinking about ideas most people around you do not care about yet.

You are learning.

Building.

Failing.

Starting again.

The internet gives you unlimited information.

But information is not the thing you are missing.

You are missing people.

The person ten minutes away who is just as obsessed.

Just as early.

Just as willing to bet on themselves.

That person exists.

You just have no way to find them.

That is why I started MORE.

I wanted to build the place I wish existed when I started. A network built around where you are, what you are building, and who you are becoming.

A place where ambition is not measured by followers, a job title, or a polished resume. It is seen through action.

We are starting in Philadelphia because networks become valuable through density, not because they are everywhere.

The goal is to make one city feel completely different for a young entrepreneur. Then do it again. City by city.

MORE is not about me. It is about a generation choosing to build earlier, move faster, and create its own path.

I believe the next great companies, brands, communities, projects and ideas are already being built by people who simply have not met each other yet.

MORE exists to change that.

If you are building something and have ever felt like no one around you fully gets it, you are exactly who we are building this for.

Welcome to MORE.

What we believe

Four things we are sure about.

  1. Proximity still matters.

    You can talk to anyone on earth now. The relationships that actually change what you are building are usually the ones close enough to meet.

  2. Action beats credentials.

    Nobody should be sorted by where they went to school or what their title says. What you are making right now is the more honest signal.

  3. Density beats reach.

    A network is only worth something when it is full enough to matter. That means going deep in one city before going anywhere else.

  4. Ambition should not be lonely.

    Wanting more for yourself is isolating when nobody around you is doing the same. It should not have to be.

Where this goes

One city, then the next.

Make Philadelphia feel genuinely different for a young entrepreneur. Enough people, close enough together, that finding your people stops being luck.

Then take what worked and do it somewhere else. The network is only as good as the room it fills.

What comes out of a room like that

  • Friendships
  • Teams
  • Companies
  • Collaborations
  • First customers
  • Projects that would not have happened
