Lightning Pitch: Pally – Old-school penpalling for modern day

COMPANY: Pally

ELEVATOR PITCH

Old-school penpalling for modern day.

PRODUCT/SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Remember having a penpal as a kid? Oh, the simple joy of receiving a letter from a stranger across the globe. Pally is a new social network that connects those interested in cultural sharing, language exchange or just meeting a new friend from another country!

Current social networks are lacking substance internationally. You can ‘like’ someone’s photo from across the world, but will never know anything else about them—making it impossible to find true international friendships. We’re solving this pain by bringing back the old joy of penpalling! We’re connecting those genuinely interested in international friendships.

Some key features include: Searching penpal by country/language/age, photo sharing, chat/voice messaging, and translated messages.
