🧠 What Companion Is
Companion is an anonymous, proximity-based social app designed for low-pressure, real-world moments:
• a walk
• reading together
• chai / coffee
• quiet conversations
How it works:
• You post an event
• Your profile stays hidden
• Only mutual right-swipes reveal identities
• No cold DMs
• No forced exposure
• Strong women-first safety design
Not dating.
Not networking.
Not a feed.
Companion is about consensual presence.
⸻
🧠 Core User Behavior (Critical)
People use Companion because:
• they want company without visibility
• they want control before exposure
• they want safety before curiosity
• they want something light, now
Anonymity is not a gimmick — it is the core trust mechanic.
Growth fails if:
• safety is undersold
• anonymity is misunderstood
• tone feels creepy or desperate
⸻
🚀 Your Core Mission
Make Companion feel:
• safe before social
• human before viral
• opt-in before exposure
You will launch Companion city-by-city, starting with Boston, by owning:
• trust narrative
• cultural tone
• consent-first framing
• early density loops
⸻
🎯 Cultural & Safety Fluency (Non-Negotiable)
You must deeply understand:
• US norms around:
• consent
• anonymity
• gendered safety
• What women feel comfortable trying
• What language immediately breaks trust
• How anonymity should be explained without fear
You do not need to live in Boston.
You do need taste and restraint.
⸻
🎯 Core Audiences
1️⃣ Women Users (Trust Gatekeepers – Primary)
If women feel safe, the product grows.
If they don’t, it dies.
2️⃣ Students & Young Professionals (Secondary)
• US college students
• Young professionals
• International students
⸻
🎯 Core Channels You’ll Own
1) Reddit — Primary Trust & Education Channel
Reddit is where safety gets questioned honestly.
Target:
• r/boston
• r/TwoXChromosomes
• r/college
• r/gradschool
• r/BostonU / r/MIT / r/Harvard
You will:
• Write transparent, safety-first posts
• Explain anonymity without marketing language
• Answer tough questions calmly
• Let users critique
• Build trust through openness, not defensiveness
Reddit success = women defending the product themselves.
⸻
2) X (Twitter) — Cultural Framing & Narrative
X sets how Companion is understood.
You will:
• Write human, consent-aware observations:
• “Some days you want company without being seen.”
• “Anonymity is safety, not secrecy.”
• Normalize anonymous-first interaction
• Frame Companion as thoughtful, not sneaky
Tone matters more than frequency.
⸻
3) City-First Activation Design (Remote)
Even with anonymity, density matters.
You will:
• Design:
• campus-safe launch playbooks
• women-first onboarding flows
• QR-based, context-aware activations
• Work with:
• student ambassadors
• women’s groups
• campus orgs
Offline validation increases online trust.
⸻
📸 Bonus Leverage (Optional)
If aligned with your style:
• Soft, non-identifying reels
• Text-first visuals
• POV-style anonymity explanations
No faces.
No performative content.
⸻
🧩 What You’ll Do (Day-to-Day)
You will:
• Pressure-test safety language daily
• Monitor how anonymity is perceived
• Translate fear → clarity → trust
• Design growth loops that respect consent
• Work with the founder on:
• reveal mechanics
• women-first features
• reporting & safeguards
You shape how safe the product feels, not just how fast it grows.
⸻
🚀 Bonus: Entrext MicroSaaS Exposure
You may also:
• Advise on safety-first positioning across other Entrext products
• Help design trust language for new launches
Companion remains your primary ownership.
⸻
🧠 Who This Role Is For
You are:
• Deeply safety-aware
• Culturally fluent in US social norms
• Thoughtful with language
• Calm under scrutiny
• Comfortable defending product choices publicly
You are not:
• A hype-driven marketer
