Nearby Live is a mobile app that connects users for one-on-one chats, picture sharing, and anonymous social discovery. It began as Who’s Near Me Live on Windows Mobile and expanded to Facebook, web, Windows Phone, Windows 8, iOS and Android, and has amassed over 2.1 million users. The product emphasizes anonymity—users can start without revealing phone numbers or other personal information—and targets general social connection rather than strictly dating. The app reports roughly 200,000 monthly active users (those who have sent or responded to a private message). Nearby Live generated $300,000 in revenue in 2014 from ads, premium features, virtual gifts, and a white-label licensing deal, but revenue is closer to $150,000 this year after a licensing partner shut down. The team has added groups, voice messages, a reputation system, and virtual gifts, and plans to use recent funding and revenues to accelerate hiring and product rollout across platforms.
