A technology startup is working to help residents and visitors of Brickell, Miami connect with like-minded individuals and communities in the city.
OOt Social Canada Inc. has announced the upcoming launch of OOt Social, an app with a “social map” capability, which will allow users to find nearby communities of interest, exclusive events, and special offers from local establishments more easily.

OOt Social will make its debut in three North American cities that are particularly targeted for their growing reputation as business and entertainment hubs. Its launch in Brickell, Miami, is expected to benefit local businesses and residents, tourists, and international students sojourning at Florida International University’s downtown facility.
Known as Miami’s financial center, Brickell is fast becoming a preferred destination among young professionals owing to its rapid economic growth, fair weather, walkability, world-class dining and shopping hubs, boutique fitness studios, and active nightlife. With OOt, one can have a finger on the pulse of the local music, sports, culture, and dining scene, thanks to its social map capability that instantly identifies nearby trending events, venues, and deals. “OOt shows you the social world around you. You can join over 80 communities of interest, see where they hang out, and meet new friends,” the company said.
OOt Social Canada Inc. also said that users will soon find QR codes that, when scanned, will give users OOtchievements, which can be used to gain points and win prizes, such as staycations.
For local establishments, OOt Social allows for increased engagement with users and entire communities by way of special deals, scavenger hunts using unique QR codes, and digital ads. A nominal monthly fee will give them access to more premium features, such as performance analytics and a custom business profile.
When asked about how the idea for OOt came about, its developers said that it was originally designed for a different purpose. “We started as yet another dating app,” the company said. “We spoke to a lot of people to get their ideas and realized that most of them wanted help building stronger communities — a lot of them were lonely. So we pivoted: we’re working to reduce loneliness for everyone.”
