Lightning Pitch: Textr – Social media app for groups

COMPANY: Textr

ELEVATOR PITCH

Social media app for group messages.

PRODUCT/SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Textr lets you follow and friend people, create and join groups that appear on your homepage, and all groups are deleted 24 hours after the last message is sent. Welcome to the modern messaging app.

If you are a freshman at your dorm, simply create a group, tag your college, and ask who wants to get food to have an easy way to meet new people. If there is a football game happening, join a group with friends or fans to talk about the game as it happens. If you see a cool article, post it and see what people have to say about it. Textr is a platform and there are unlimited options. From breaking news to live sports to talking about finger monkeys, Textr is live group messaging.
