Nearcast Investor Summary

Ambient Social Presence for the Real World

Nearcast is redefining how people connect in physical spaces transforming smartphones into silent signals of availability and intent. Using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) pulses, Nearcast enables privacy-first, ephemeral interactions between users in venues, events, and co-working spaces. No swipes. No profiles. Just real-time, context-aware connection.

We’re solving a growing problem: social disconnection in environments designed for interaction. From bars to conferences, people struggle to break the ice, while venues miss out on valuable engagement data. Nearcast bridges that gap—creating a seamless, opt-in layer of ambient social presence that respects privacy and unlocks new commercial pathways.

The Technology

Nearcast is built on a proprietary BLE protocol designed for ephemeral, moment-based communication. Users toggle “Pulse Mode” to signal availability. Mutual wave gestures unlock 20-minute chats that self-destruct no history, no trace. The system passively detects nearby pulses, enabling frictionless engagement without compromising user control.

Core pillars include:

• Signal Control & Crowd Handling for high-density venues

• Contextual Awareness to adapt to location and user intent

• Secure Payload & Identity Management for privacy-first design

• White-label SDK for seamless integration into third-party apps

Use Cases & Traction

Nearcast has already demonstrated impact across:

• Conferences & Meetups: Enabling spontaneous networking

• Bars & Restaurants: Driving guest engagement and retention

• Co-working Spaces: Facilitating serendipitous collaboration

Pilot studies show strong user interest and venue demand, with early adopters reporting increased dwell time, organic interactions, and actionable engagement data.

Business Model

Nearcast operates across B2B and consumer channels:

• Venue Subscriptions: Monthly access to pulse zones and analytics dashboards

• White-label SDK Licensing: Integration into event and hospitality apps

• Premium Consumer Features: Enhanced range, visibility, and tagging

• Referral Rewards Program: Viral growth through incentivized sharing

This multi-tiered model allows for scalable monetization while maintaining user trust and platform integrity.
