The Problem
In today’s fast-moving, digital-first world, meaningful relationships are often lost to time and distance. People move cities, switch schools, and change jobs and with them, old friends and important connections slowly fade away.
Yet, the places we’ve lived, studied, and worked remain powerful anchors of memory and identity. We realised there’s no easy, dedicated platform that helps people reconnect based on these shared life experiences especially in growing, interconnected communities like Nigeria

The Solution
Places is a social reconnection app designed to help people find and reconnect with others based on the places they’ve lived, schools attended, workplaces, and events they’ve experienced.
It’s more than a directory , it’s a smart, context-aware platform built around life experiences, starting first in Nigeria.
Places solves this problem through a connection platform organized by life experiences:
Places lived
Schools attended
Workplaces &
