Outernet Turns 18,000 Saved Posts Into Real-World Plans, Reaching Profitability in 2 Months
3 articles · Updated · TechCrunch · Aug 3
Summary
Outernet has been live for about two months, has around 18,000 users and is already profitable through a premium tier priced at $6.99 a month or $39.99 a year.
The invite-only iOS app lets users send TikTok, Instagram and web links into one place, where AI extracts details such as time, date and location to organize events, places and to-dos.
Proactive reminders, maps, calendar exports and a future passport-style stamping system are designed to push users from saving ideas online to actually going out and doing them.
Danielle Egan and Athena Leong built the product after running San Francisco scavenger hunt Pursuit, whose latest edition drew about 1.5% of the city's population and showed demand for offline adventures.
Outernet joins rivals including Albo, Tabi and Plotline, while the founders say they are only casually talking with investors and want backers aligned with their playful, community-focused approach.
