In a world where we are more digitally connected than ever, genuine in‑person interaction has become increasingly rare. Social feeds are crowded, conversations are fragmented, and despite thousands of “friends” or “followers,” loneliness remains one of today’s biggest challenges — especially on college campuses.
Moments was built to change that.
We’re creating a platform designed to make real‑life connections happen in real time. Unlike traditional social apps that rely on endless swipes, curated profiles, and algorithmic feeds, Moments focuses on proximity, compatibility, and timing to connect you with the right people — right now.
Whether it’s meeting someone to grab coffee, joining a spontaneous game, or striking up a conversation with a stranger nearby, Moments turns fleeting encounters into lasting stories.
We believe the best friendships, the best ideas, and the best nights out don’t start with a DM — they start with “hey.”
Launching Fall 2025 at Rutgers University, Moments is built by students, for students. This is more than an app — it’s a movement to bring people back to the present, foster belonging, and strengthen communities one interaction at a time.
