With every city in the world having its own feed, we've created city-based social networks that give you a real-time view of cities around the world. The travel industry is one of the world's largest industries, and it has a significant economic impact. In 2022, the travel industry in the United States had $1.2 trillion in direct spending, which created an economic footprint of $2.6 trillion. This industry also directly employed 8 million Americans and supported nearly 15 million jobs.Atmosfy generates revenue through three primary channels: PAID BUSINESS PROFILESWe allow businesses to supercharge visibility on Atmosfy, and access a variety of tools including boosting user-generated content, launching real-time specials, interfacing with local creators, and much more.PARTNER REVENUE:Atmosfy has experiences across dining, nightlife, hotels, & travel - and every one of those experiences is bookable via order, reservation, booking, etc. We have an order kiosk in the product that allows seamless integration for in-app purchases, on which Atmosfy earns a commission.

We're backed by the world's top Venture CapitalistsInvest alongside Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Kygo, and Top Silicon Valley VC Funds. Our mission is to support local businesses through the power of sharingFrom the perspective of CEO/Founder, Michael EbelBuilding Atmosfy from the ground up during the pandemic, and in the years since, has been a wild and exhilarating journey. Our vision is to develop a new way to discover the best food, nightlife, and experiences in your city and around the world through short-form, authentic video. And this vision has proven more meaningful, engaging, and successful than we ever imagined.I founded Atmosfy to support local businesses. As a former bartender, I know how brutal the dining and nightlife industry can be, and I always dreamed of a better way to help create visibility and awareness for local businesses.Throughout my career, I kept coming back to this pain point. Drawing from my experience at Meta, the United States Air Force, and PwC, I was able to visualize a solution.COVID amplified the challenges local businesses faced. Atmosfy was born when we realized that leveraging sharing, video and inspiration could help businesses not only weather the storm, but survive and then, thrive.As an Air Force Captain, I learned that mission comes first, and the immense power of building supportive communities around shared goals. That sense of purpose will always be our North Star. And is a central reason for our decision to allow our community to invest in Atmosfy, as well as venture capitalists.I’m so proud that this mission of sharing, inspiring, and supporting local business has resonated around the world. We’re amazed and gratified that, today, Atmosfy powers the discovery of more than 2M+ locations for dining, nightlife, hotels and experiences in 10K+ cities across more than 150 countries. And we’re just getting started.Next StepsWe're continuing to accelerate our growth globally and building more and more best-in-class features for creators, businesses, and users looking to discover the best local experiences. Specifically, we'll continue to:Build world-class features for Creators to continue inspiring a global audience.Continue expanding social features that help you stay connected with your friends, and meet new ones.Launch tools for businesses to interface with creators and their communities.Continue investing in AI to drive personalized recommendations. FAQsWhat is a SAFE and what potential returns could I see as an investor?A SAFE (Simple Agreement for Future Equity) is an agreement that gives investors a right to future equity in the company they are investing in. SAFEs are the industry-standard way for early-stage, fast-growing tech startups to raise capital quickly and easily, without incurring massive legal fees.When you invest in Atmosfy via a SAFE, you are purchasing the right to obtain equity in the company at a future date, typically when the company raises additional financing in the form of a priced equity round, or undergoes an exit event such as an acquisition or IPO (Initial Public Offering).Unlike investing in publicly traded stocks where you can buy and sell shares at any time, investing in a SAFE involves holding your investment until a future event such as an acquisition or IPO. The stock market offers more liquidity and the ability to react to market changes quickly, but startup investments via a SAFE can offer higher potential returns if the company achieves significant growth.The potential returns for investors depend on the success of Atmosfy. If the company grows and succeeds in its mission, investors could see returns through:Acquisition: If Atmosfy is acquired by a larger company, investors would receive equity in the acquiring company or a cash payout.IPO (Initial Public Offering): If Atmosfy goes public, investors could convert their SAFE into shares and sell them on the stock market.Investing in a startup always carries risks, but it also offers the potential for significant returns if the company achieves its growth targets and successfully scales its operations.

- Q: What are your financials and user metrics?
- Q: Hey Michael, I run a community round focused venture fund and have a few questions for you that I'd love to ask 1 on 1 if possible. What's the best way to reach you before end of the community round for a zoom meeting?
- Q: Do you have plans on changing your UI, lI wanted to ask whether you have any plans to remove the gambling-style mechanics in the app (such as randomized rewards or slot-like features). These elements can feel out of place in a travel and discovery context. Additionally, do you foresee a shift in branding toward food lovers or everyday travelers, as opposed to primarily focusing on nightlife and party culture? I believe expanding your identity could resonate with a broader user base looking for authentic and diverse experiences.
- Q: How is the business doing so far in 2025?
- Q: Can you share your thoughts on how often you will update us on how things are progressing with your goals and business plan? Secondly, do you intend to file the annual report with the SEC? Thanks for your feedback
