Alyson Wyers — January 11, 2017 — Social Media
Described as "the ultimate social marketplace for your inner geek," the Cosmunity app acts as a digital hub for geek culture. The startup offers an online ecosystem for all your transactional, social, media and event-related interactions in one place.
The web and mobile app enables users to interact socially but also brings in the transactional communication found at many conventions. Given that it speaks to geek culture, the app is designed to have a comic book look and feel. Regardless of what fandom you belong to, Cosmunity gives fans the opportunity to engage with each other, buy and sell goods and find out about real-life events when conventions come to an end. This is also a forum to show off photos and videos.
