Bored This Weekend? LifeCrowd Launches A Marketplace For Social Activities. LifeCrowd, the first startup to emerge from the newly-formed Global Accelerator Network member MuckerLab based in L.A., is today launching its marketplace for social activities into public beta.
The company, which aims to provide a curated selection of quality events, happenings, classes and outings, is available now for users in San Francisco, San Diego, and all of Orange County, Calif., as well as in its original test market of L.A. Only a month and a half old, co-founder Bong Koh says the concept for LifeCrowd is very simple. “We just help you meet new people and try new activities,” he explains.
“That ranges from sushi making to wine tasting to rock climbing,” he adds, “and the emphasis is on local, but also casual, intimate and social – those are the words we use to describe ourselves.” Currently the session size for the events is trending towards 8 and 10 individuals – big enough to allow you to meet other people, but not too big as to be overwhelming.
