#2he doesn't discuss financials, but that's my first and only question: how is this gonna be funded if it takes off?

#3Mozi is the private social network that helps you build real-word relationships.
Isn't that Whatsapp or Signal is?
I also have come to realize that most repeat founders who are in the same space usually do not make great founders. They almost always make the same mistakes.
I would not fund this company.

#4Sounds like a problem for the jetsetter crowd. Good for them! I have much more mundane social network needs.

#5This kind of reminds me of the original version of the app called Color, where you'd see social posts organized by geo coordinates. Imagine being in a coffee shop and seeing a feed of every post and photo posted from within the coffee shop. The benefit being you could make friends in your area.
Does anyone else remember this app? It came out around the same era as Path.

#7Reminds me of a social network called Dopplr, which existed briefly almost 20 years ago: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dopplr

#8>For example, I just got back from Miami. Before going, I put my plan (just the city and what days) into Mozi. This information was shared just with my contacts (minus any I wouldn’t want it to be). So, even before going, I was able to see both the people I know who live there and other friends who were visiting at the same time, so we could meet up and make plans.
>Mozi also helps you decide where to go. “Events” on Mozi (currently a beta feature) lets you see who you know may be going—or considering going—to a conference or event before you go. (If you happen to be going to SXSW, join the Mozi event. I’ll be there too.)
Seems like more of a "networking" app as opposed to friends as it mentioned ...
Still, I don't dislike the general idea.

#9Huh. At the risk of being crude, this is already a feature of queer hookup apps, including recording your plans and seeing who else in your network will be attending an event or visiting your area.

Thank you! Yes, I remember.
I just googled Path because I thought that was the one. But it was indeed Color I was thinking of. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_Labs
I recall they (claimed they) had some crazy tech that used the microphone to detect if you were in the same room as other users.
