Panion is a keyword-searchable social app that connects people through common interests, values, and experiences. It is our mission to solve the loneliness epidemic and improve social integration by connecting like-minded people in-person for shared activities and new friendships. By adding keywords to their profile, users can find others in their neighborhood that share their interests or search for people based on a particular type of interest or platonic relationship. Technology often creates the illusion of bringing us closer but actually leads to superficial social interactions, a false sense of security and a lack of genuine connection. It is our goal to make tech the answer instead of the cause. By promoting inclusion and diversity, combating loneliness, and giving people a way to feel valued based on their creativity, skills and knowledge, we can better integrate newcomers, combat discrimination and improve the overall mental health and well-being of our societies.(DTIL#2,3,5)
