FirstMove turns any space you're already in into a place you can actually meet someone. Privacy as architecture, not a setting.
Not a nightlife app. A VibeZone can switch on in a park, a gym, a coffee shop, a conference floor, or a club. If people gather there, FirstMove fits.
Live VibeZones, real venues, right now. Open the app and see who else is in the room.
You walk past 500 potential connections a day. You go home and tell an AI chatbot how your day went instead.
Dating apps reduced people to swipes. Cold approaches feel awkward at best, threatening at worst. So the room stays quiet.
We built the bit that's been missing. A safe, mutual way to make the first move when you're already in the room.
Doesn't matter if it's a festival, a club, or a Tuesday-night gig. The room's already full and the energy's already real.
Everyone in it is still one screen away from the person stood next to them.
FirstMove switches on right here. The room stops just looking connected and actually is.
Three steps. Both parties have to mean it. Nothing happens without mutual consent.
Spot someone interesting nearby and send a Knock. Nothing happens unless they Knock back.
If the interest is mutual, a Challenge confirms it. No accidental matches, no DM spam.
A short chat built to push you toward saying hello in person. It ends when the VibeZone does.
Profiles only exist while you're in the VibeZone. Nothing follows you home.
Nothing happens without mutual opt-in. The handshake is the product.
Profiles, chats, and presence reset when the event ends. No long-term digital residue.
Location data stays inside the geofence. We don't follow you home.
The win condition is you putting the phone down and saying hello.
Find what's on, plan around it, then feel what happens once you walk in.
A live feed of what's happening around you: bars, gigs, festivals, conferences, campus nights. Wherever people gather, it's on the map.

FirstMove is the presence layer for the physical world. Walk into a venue, festival, conference or campus running a VibeZone and the app switches on, letting you connect with people who are actually in the room through a consent-first protocol called the 3-Way Handshake. Walk out and it switches off.
No. FirstMove is not a dating app, a ticketing platform, or another social network to maintain. There is no swiping, no follower count and no social graph to build. People use it to meet collaborators at a conference, find their crew at a festival, or say hello to someone at a gig. Romance is one possible outcome, never the product.
Three steps. Knock: signal that you noticed someone nearby. Challenge: if the interest is mutual, both sides confirm it. Connect: a short chat built to push you toward saying hello in person. Nothing reaches anyone who has not opted in, so there are no unsolicited messages and no accidental matches.
Your profile only exists while you are inside the VibeZone. When the event ends, the profile, the chat and your presence end with it. Location data stays inside the geofence, so you are not tracked between venues. Privacy is the architecture here, not a setting you toggle. Full detail is on our security page.
FirstMove is free for attendees on both iOS and Android. There is no premium tier for meeting people. Venues, organisers and promoters pay for the partner platform, and those plans are set out on our pricing page.
No. Adding FirstMove costs you nothing you already have. Keep your ticketing, your box office and your audience exactly where they are, then switch on a VibeZone for the room itself. If you would rather consolidate, FirstMove Partners ships ticketing, payouts and white-label event pages too, with no fee at all on free events and paid ticketing from 2.5% + £0.30. Either way, the VibeZone is the reason your room changes.
Anywhere people gather and a VibeZone has been switched on. Bars, parks, gyms, festivals, gigs, clubs, conferences, campuses, cafés and co-working spaces. If people gather there, FirstMove fits.
