            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/625/1*F5SRRuPm55tpl4Z0yG03EA.png" /></figure><p>Hi. I’m Josh, the founder of Convose. I believe there should be one place to find new relationships — not many as there currently is on the web.</p><p>There is <strong>Jewgether </strong>(and other religious platforms) for finding religious people, <strong>Hellotalk </strong>(and other language exchange platforms) for finding language practice partners, <strong>Linkedin </strong>for finding professional relationships and <strong>Okcupid </strong>for finding romantic relationships. It doesn’t make sense because all of these platforms are basically connecting each other in the same way: through keywords and 1:1 chat; this design and the users COULD be combined into one platform. What if there were just one platform for finding people? Then all the people (who are looking for relationships) could be in just one place and if everyone were in one place then it would make it really easy to find exactly the kind of person you are looking for or who is really relevant to you. Also, if there were one platlform for all kinds of relationships then you wouldn’t be closed off from all the possibilities that are out there like all the other platforms like hellotalk force you to do. E.g., on Hellotalk you can only look for language exchanges and on Linkedin its not like you are going to put in that your interested in hunting, or communism right? We are missing opportunities, there should be something more centralized for this. Convose is anonymous, it doesn’t require that you put in pesonal info about yourself, infact all you need to do is put in your interests:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*bsXapON31lwzMiGEt2zHXA.png" /><figcaption>Enter your interests</figcaption></figure><p>then click on people to start a chats:</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*N0aDsm2H7c4bHoM5d3L3DA.png" /><figcaption>Start chats on convose.com</figcaption></figure><p>You don’t even need to signup. It takes literally seconds to start a chat. Don’t believe me? Give it a go: <a href="http://www.convose.com/">www.convose.com</a> (or “convose” in the app store). Convose also focuses on Real-time conversations meaning you can be more sure of an instant response (connecting with new people through platforms like Linkedin or Facebook means waiting hours if not days or not at all for a response), with 100s of millions of people on the internet at any time as if we shouldn’t be able to rely on an instant response, there must be someone out there interested in talking about every topic right? Convose will give them all a place to do so. Convose aims to allow you to find and open a chat about any topic in the same amount of time that Youtube allows you to find an open a video about any topic. This will mean that you can wake up tomorrow and decide to start learning something new and not have to think: “Where can I find someone to talk to about &lt;insert topic&gt;?” You will know that all kinds of videos are found through Youtube, all kinds of articles are found through Google and all kinds of 1:1 conversations are found through Convose.</p><p>If you like you can follow Convose’s story through Facebook: <a href="https://facebook.com/convose">https://facebook.com/convose</a> or just come onto the Convose platform and see directly if its starting to become a reality.</p><p>Also, if you like we are giving away some pretty cool things in our Kickstarter campaign if its interesting: <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2042436978/convose-find-conversations">https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2042436978/convose-find-conversations</a></p><p>Thanks for your support!</p><p>Josh</p><img src="https://medium.com/_/stat?event=post.clientViewed&referrerSource=full_rss&postId=7bcb54075d5e" width="1" height="1" alt="">]]></content:encoded>
