Hotlist

Hotlist is a location-based social media platform that aims to simplify social planning by effortlessly connecting friends and discovering the best events, venues, and gatherings tailored to users’ social preferences and location. The platform allows users to follow friends, places, and brands, and receive personalized notifications and suggestions. The Planner feature enables users to determine the best time and place for meetups via smartphones or the web, offering a virtual view of venues and insights into the expected crowd and attendees. Founded in 2008, Hotlist leverages plans from over 110 million people, providing social insights for over 3 million venues across more than 40,000 cities. The platform utilizes public data from Facebook and Twitter to customize social planning for each user based on their location and interests. In January 2012, Hotlist secured a $25.00K investment in an Angel Round from Social Starts.
