My classmates and I had the opportunity to interact with UBC Alumni who started their own entrepreneurship. One speaker’s innovation jumped out at me the most, Tangoo – a social outing phone application. As noted in Tangoo blog, Paul, the UBC Alumni, instantly made me agree and want to use the Tangoo application.

 This application provides you many dining options based on a survey of your mood and goals. Its value proposition comes from its well-centered and concentrated restaurant data system with price ranges, Tangoo app user’s views, price ranges, and even a map directory. Ultimately, users can easily find the perfect dining location for their outing.

Furthermore, Paul emphasized that “Tangoo’s mission is to give you back your time and to facilitate new experiences for you and your friends”. I strongly agree with the importance of this aspect. With rapid technology developments and greater use of social media, the communication has shifted from face-to-face to humans-and-electronic-devices. It has even been proven by sociologist that kids born into this new era (the era of technology) have more direct communication problems. Thus, I believe that Tangoo’s notion of reconnecting friends in a quick and stress-free manner is so simple yet impacting on our life.
