What’s Currently Going on in the Industry?
Oh, you thought the friendship market was saturated? Think again. While dating apps are a dime a dozen, the friendship-walking space is as empty as a hipster's trust fund. ZNEEX is pioneering a unique blend of health, wellness, and friendship that's accessible to everyone.
Company Birth Story
Laura J. Wellington, the founder of ZNEEX, knows a thing or two about loneliness. After losing her husband to cancer at the age of 35, she found herself in the "friendship desert." You know, that place where your phone is as dry as your humor. When COVID-19 hit and turned everyone's social life into a Netflix binge-watching marathon, she decided it was time to act. Thus, ZNEEX was born, with the mission to make friendship as easy as a walk in the park.

The Solution
Wellington had the app all mapped out in her head like a seasoned entrepreneur sketching out a business plan on a cocktail napkin. She then partnered with Dacway, an innovative app development company, to bring her vision to life. After two years of hard work, ZNEEX was launched in the Google Play Store in December 2022 and is currently in the final stages of App Store approval. Already, 3,000 people are walking their way to new friendships.

Why You Should Invest

With the U.S. Surgeon General highlighting the impact of loneliness, the timing couldn't be better. So, if you're tired of pouring money into startups that promise the moon but deliver a pebble, ZNEEX is your ticket to a worthwhile investment.
So there you have it, folks. ZNEEX is not just another app; it's a movement—both socially and physically. Get on board before it becomes the next big thing that you "totally knew about but didn't invest in." Don't say we didn't warn you.
