Hi all! Welcome to the SOCIAL NETWORK for HAPPINESS and HELPING each other:

We are living in the digital age where more than 4.5 billion people are connected through the internet in just 31 years. The global pandemic has caused a 195-million job loss and almost a million deceased globally. The pandemic changed health care, international relations, education, urban life, and many other aspects of our lives. Luckily, technology kept people connected, productive and collaborative on economical, social and environmental issues.

Imagine a world where everyone is happier because meeting our needs is easy, cheap, and fast with the aid of technology; Where there is an abundance of employment opportunities, easy health care access, more safety and protection and needs are met cheaper and faster. People can move toward a better and healthier life with more social support and extensive social relationships as well as ample time for volunteering and donating. What would happen if 4.5 billion people connected through the internet willingly contributed 10 minutes of their daily time to volunteer or chose to donate 1 cent each to different causes across the world? This will result in 45 billion minutes and 45 million dollars daily toward helping each other. The world would be a better place for everyone. So we wanted to bring this impactful vision to life using technology!

Boonoob is a social network for daily life activities aiming to connect 1 billion people by 2030 to meet their needs, to help each other, and spread happiness. 

During the pandemic and beyond, one of our biggest missions has become to provide a tool to connect people in need of jobs to people in need of services.

Future expansion will include all other daily life activities such as entertainments, events, hangouts and more.

Simply put, Boonoob is LinkedIn for Craigslist. This way, users can enjoy a trustful environment to produce and consume opportunities (aka activities) all in one platform with the least friction freely and lowest cost possible to meet their needs and help each other out.

We offer the ability to list numerous types of paid services such as housekeeping, handy work, tutoring, shopping, health and wellness, event planning, and etc. Moreover, we offer the chance to volunteer/get the help needed for free, donate goods/raise funds, and negotiate prices for paid services.

Let's compare the costs, shall we? Currently, Craigslist charges $10 for a gig listing in San Francisco while Thumbtack charges service providers 20% ($100) for amounts less than $500.

In contrast, Boonoob charges only $0.99 flat fee for any type of paid services of any amount while volunteering and donation listings are absolutely for free. 10x times less than Craigslist and 100x times less than Thumbtack.

To draw another big differentiation, Boonoob is a social platform around activity where you can add friends and make new ones. Your timeline shows what your circle has done for your community and keep up on what activities your friends are participating in. You can also see which one of your friends need help or assistance, generating even more opportunities.

By combining these two booming markets, we will have a big space to explore and grow. This is truly a multi-billion dollar opportunity!

Currently, Boonoob is in the works of developing an iOS app to bring our users in one platform where help is at their fingertips. A web app and an Android version is to follow.

But, let's dive deeper.

Have you watched The Social Dilemma film on Netflix? 

The main point of the film is that social media makes money from your data. Around the end of the movie however, Jaron Lanier the author of the book Ten Arguments For Deleting Your Social Media Accounts Right Now and others propose that a solution to this problem is financial incentivization and a change in these business models. 

Well, the good news is, we have solved this issue already!!

Our business model derives revenue from multiple sources, reducing our reliance on advertisements.

1. We will not sell your data, 

2. We only promote good things.

3. You can make money by doing nice things and helping others. 

We believe technology is a tool which can be used for good or for bad alike. From our perspective, promoting good products that are good for our planet or volunteering opportunities for good causes are perfectly fine.  

All is all, our business model will allow us to be less reliant on advertisements and manipulative algorithms and be more focused on the happiness of our costumers.

Do you know that the average happiness score of the world is 5.4 out of 10 for 2020?

Yes that's very true. The world has much more potential to become happier, more productive, and efficient in many aspects of life. Scientist have been tracking happiness of people around the world. For the past decade or more scientists have been measuring happiness based on factors like geography, gender, marriage, and age. Interesting right? That's we thoughts too!!

In 2016, the question we asked ourselves was: "What happens if we create an app that goes inside everyone's phone and give them a daily dose of positivity, happiness, and love?"

Indeed such a science exists. Positive psychology or science of happiness is a new field that studies how people become happier!!

We have worked hard to incorporate and code the science of happiness into the DNA of Boonoob to create a platform that everyone can benefit from and grow with.

The most prominent happiness theory is called PERMA model which for the sake of simplicity we call it REMAP:

Relationships: one of the most important factors in happiness is the people you are connected with. The stronger your friendships the happier you become. Quality is much important than the number of the friends. For example you might have thousands of friends on Facebook but how many of them can you rely on in the times of hardship? Boonoob will bring you stronger relationships by interacting with others in a more meaningful and unique way.

Engagement: another factors of happiness is engagement in an activity. The more you are engaged in doing something the more joyful you become. For example have you spent sometime with someone and or doing something that you completely forgot about time? This is also called the state of Flow or being in the zone presented by Mihály Csíkszentmihályi. Boonoob will help you engage in the activities you enjoy.

Meaning: some scientist argue this is the single most important factor.  Simply the more meaningful you live your life the more happier, stronger, and resilient you will be. When you have meaning in your life you are focused and you jump out of the bed early morning to pursue your goal. Boonoob is a purposeful platform so you can find meaning in being with others, helping them, and being active toward better health and as such.

Accomplishment: this factor is about how much you move toward your goals. How much you get done on a daily basis, weekly, monthly, or yearly. The more you get done the happier you become. Even getting simple daily tasks done will help you become happier. Boonoob is designed to help you accomplish more.

Positive emotions: the more you feel positive the happier you become. This factor has two components: intensity and frequency.  Think about it this way, the amount of the joy you get from an activity and the number of times you do the activity matters. Boonoob will deliver your daily dose of these nice emotions through variety of things like seeing others doing nice things, positive reinforcements and more. Watch video: Simon Sinek.

Boonoob started as a private social platform at the University of New Hampshire in 2016 by Hesam Jafari. Thousands of students joined. From there, Boonoob explosively expanded when he moved to San Francisco the following year where he met co-founders Yves Songolo and Kishan Trivedi.

Since 2018, Boonoob has listed hundreds of private events and connected thousands of people lover together. Our party highlights include a Costume Cruise in 2018 and ScaryGoodTimes in 2019, both Halloween events. To date, our biggest event took place during our 2020 New Years Eve Dance Party, pooling in over 1,000 attendees, $83k in revenue, and was ranked the most popular party in San Francisco.

Hesam wants to take this moment and thank staff members of University of New Hampshire and University of San Francisco for all the amazing opportunity and all the nice colleagues who help in ideation, execution, all the professors and teachers all the way from kindergarten to our current world-class startup advisors who thought nice lessons for life, all of our family members who supported us in the thick and thin, all the amazing friends, and all the team crew for this once in a life time honor to able to aim for serving billions on a technological platform that once was just an idea, a spark, and a gift.

Boonoob has been recently accepted into and backed by Newchip Accelerator's program which will aide in improve and accelerate our business in every aspect.

We are well on our path becoming the safest social network to bring happiness to daily lives of people by connecting billions across the globe. Boonoob will evolve into a platform where people can choose to do all variety of activities with like-minded individuals.
