## About Pie

Pie is a social app that helps people make friends and discover local events in their communities.

Founded by Andy Dunn, the former CEO of Bonobos, Pie is based in Chicago and focuses on reducing social isolation by facilitating real-life connections. The app features event discovery, allowing users to find local activities that match their interests. It offers a personalized feed showcasing events attended by friends and friends-of-friends, and users can create and host their own events, supported by the Pie Creator Fund. Additional features include chat and coordination tools, memory sharing through photos, and an AI-powered matching system called "Sparked Connections," which helps attendees connect with others at events. Pie is available in several cities, including Chicago, San Francisco, and New York, and has grown to over 130,000 monthly active users. The app is free to download, with some event hosts charging ticket fees.
