PRE-SEED INVESTMENT
NearMeNow connects local demand and local offers at the right moment — as an app for consumers, and as a visibility platform for businesses and clubs.
We're in the pre-seed stage. The app is pre-launch and live in both app stores; the full offer feed and further B2B features are currently being built.

THE PROBLEM
The local market is digitally fragmented.
The local market is digitally fragmented.
88%
of 20–55 year-olds research online before choosing a leisure activity or local provider.
No constant noise. Only when something truly fits you or becomes available spontaneously. Whether it’s a last-minute spot, a short-notice offer nearby, or something that perfectly matches your profile. You’ll hear about it in time.
64%
of German SMEs have low digital visibility — their offers often don't reach the right audience in time.
Local offers are scattered across many channels, and local providers struggle with limited organic reach. The demand is there, the offers are there. Online, the two often don't meet at the right moment.

Relevance over reach
Offers are surfaced situationally based on location, time, mobility, and interest — not simply advertised.

BUSINESS MODEL
BUSINESS MODEL
B2B as the revenue side, B2C as the demand side.
Core subscription model
A free basic profile builds supply density. Paid tiers (€25-89/month) offer extended visibility, push/promo and reporting.
Pay-as-you-go
Additional, predictable visibility boosts for providers — as an entry point or a top-up to the subscription.
Marketplace (ab 2027)
Transaction-based revenue from local bookings, per current planning.
NearMeNow stays free for consumers, so a strong demand side emerges that makes the supply side especially valuable for businesses. We're happy to share detailed financials in a personal conversation.
