Tangnt is the real-world connection network. Not swiping — proximity. Not algorithms — your actual orbit. The people you keep crossing paths with are already the connections you're looking for.
Stop performing. Start being found.
Tangnt's proximity engine surfaces the people already around you — based on where you've been, how often your paths cross, and what you have in common. No swiping required.
Open Tangnt at an airport, café, conference, or anywhere. The proximity engine — built on real-time PostGIS location data — detects who else is within 75 metres, right now, in a 15-minute window. Airport Mode activates automatically at 11 seeded hubs.
Until mutual interest, everyone remains private. No one knows you looked. No awkwardness if there's no match. Jittered coordinates, blurred profiles — privacy is structural, not optional.
Instead of swiping, you send one intentional Signal. Four signals to three people every two hours. Scarcity creates intentionality — every signal carries real weight because they're scarce.
Most apps have one way to find people. Tangnt has three — each engineered for a different kind of real-world moment, each building a separate network effect.
Real-time proximity · 75m · 15-min window
Detects users within 75 metres in a 15-minute window via server-side PostGIS. Prevents duplicates with minute-level time bucketing. Jittered coordinates protect privacy. Automatic match creation on mutual like. At airports, activates automatically — showing who's at your terminal, lounge, or gate.
Repeated patterns · 150m · 30-day window
Tracks repeated proximity across days — the same café every Tuesday, the same gym, the same commute. Builds a Resonance Score using frequency (log scale), recency boost, and day-streak bonus. Status progresses: Emerging → Growing → Strong. The longer your orbit overlaps, the stronger the signal.
Shared wavelength · location-independent
Matches by shared interests, professional goals, and travel intent — regardless of location. Frequency Score: shared interests (40pts) + intent match (15pts) + industry match (15pts) + prompt overlap (30pts). For founders, frequent flyers, and digital nomads who need the right connection before they even land.
Every signal carries weight. Scarcity creates intentionality — when you only have four signals every two hours, you choose carefully. This is the anti-Tinder. Every interaction is deliberate.
Traditional dating apps own swipe-based matching. LinkedIn owns professional networking. Nobody owns real-world, proximity-first connection — the moment people actually want to meet.
Four kinds of people. One platform. Each with a different reason to connect — and a different network that grows around them.
You spend more time in airports than most people spend at restaurants. Tangnt turns every layover into opportunity — surfacing who's at your terminal, lounge, gate. Never fly alone unless you want to. 45M+ US loyalty cardholders are the first to benefit.
New city every month, starting from zero. Orbit Mode finds the people who keep showing up in your world — the coworking regulars, café crowd, gym neighbours. Your community builds itself around you without effort. 35M+ globally and growing 20% YoY.
You spent $3,000 to be in the same room as the right people. Frequency Mode matches you with attendees who share your industry, goals, and intent — before the awkward badge-squinting begins. The professional networking layer that LinkedIn can't touch.
You've walked past the same person at the farmers market four Sundays in a row. Orbit Mode noticed. Whether local or just visiting, Tangnt surfaces the connections that were already forming around you — the missed hellos, made.
Proximity data is the most sensitive information an app can handle. We designed every layer to protect it — not as a feature, but as a structural requirement.
Location never stored permanently. Presence pings expire automatically — we show proximity, not coordinates. PostGIS jittering adds randomness to all displayed distances.
Go invisible anytime. Choose who sees you, where, and when. Full Row-Level Security on all 33+ database tables — authenticated access only, no exceptions.
Every verified badge = a real person who passed our selfie check. No catfish, no bots, no fake profiles. Verification is optional but visible — users know who's verified.
Tangnt only checks location when you actively open the app. Zero background tracking. No location history built. No data sold. Location data restricted to your own rows.
Built on a modern, scalable stack with a proprietary proximity engine. 33+ tables, full Row-Level Security, 12 realtime subscriptions, PostGIS spatial queries, serverless edge functions, and AI-powered features — all live.
We're targeting strategic investors who understand the intersection of travel, social, and proximity technology. Our beachhead is airports — 9.5B annual passengers, captive audience, high intent, zero competition.
Tangnt is launching at major airports first. Join the waitlist and be the first to find the connections that were always there.
