Investors
near me® is a voice-first local discovery platform built for brick-and-mortar businesses, connecting local intent to nearby fulfillment through discovery, offers, and merchant-direct action.
near me® is building the owned layer between local intent and the real world. Learn more about our mission and how it works.
When people say "near me", we intend to own the answer
For years, "near me" has been a search pattern. It is now becoming a behaviour: spoken, mobile, and intensely local.
We are making a focused bet:
- That more and more local decisions will start with a simple question: "Where can I get this near me?".
- That the winners will connect that intent to physical locations in a few taps, not a dozen links.
- And that the platform that does this best will sit on top of one of the most valuable streams of everyday, repeatable demand.
near me® is being built to be that platform.
The owned layer between local intent and local fulfillment
near me® is not replacing maps. Maps solved discovery. We are building the next layer: connecting high-intent "near me" behavior to nearby merchants, local offers, and merchant-direct action. Read more about why "near me" is intent, not search.
With 70M+ points of interest, active offer coverage across major Canadian and select U.S. cities, and order direct capability in supported markets including Toronto, near me® is positioned to become the defining platform for Local Commerce 2.0.
A living, breathing picture of local commerce
We are already combining product, data, and distribution in a way that becomes difficult to copy once it is in motion.
70+ million points of interest globally
Our database currently includes more than 70 million points of interest, structured for discovery and action.
2,600+ live offers
Users can access 2,600+ offers across major cities in Canada and the United States.
Order direct voice search
In supported markets, users can search by voice and order direct, where payment goes directly to merchants rather than through a third-party marketplace.
A focused app experience in market
Our iOS and Android apps turn "I need this near me" into a short list of nearby businesses with one-tap actions.
Voice, AI, and local intent are converging
The way people reach answers is changing. Queries that used to be typed as short keywords are now spoken, often to AI-powered assistants.
At the same time, a large share of everyday spending still flows through brick-and-mortar locations.
In this environment, there is room for a specialised, trusted surface focused on one thing: helping people act on local intent. Read more in our insights.
A platform, not a single feature
We are deliberately building near me® as a platform with multiple ways to create and capture value over time.
For users: a fast, reliable, uncluttered way to discover nearby options and act on them.
For merchants: visibility at the exact moment nearby customers are deciding where to go, with support for direct relationships.
For partners: a specialised local discovery layer that can complement payments, mapping, voice, and other ecosystems.
The specifics of our roadmap and monetisation strategy are best discussed directly.
Partners who understand leverage in local
We are looking for investors who recognise the structural shift toward voice, AI, and hyperlocal intent.
An appreciation for how "near me" behaviour will evolve as voice and AI become more central.
An understanding that brick-and-mortar businesses remain critical to local economies.
A preference for focused products that do one thing extremely well for a very large market.
If that sounds like you, we would be pleased to have a deeper conversation.
