Local Discovery Platform for Events, Activities & Experiences

About the Client

Outsiide Inc. is a Canadian startup building a single place for people to discover what's happening around them — events, activities, and experiences — and a direct channel for hosts to reach an audience that is actively looking for something to do. The vision was to cut through scattered flyers, social feeds, and group chats, and give a city one organized, mobile-first way to find plans and fill them.

Project Overview

AnyCognition partnered with Outsiide to take the product from concept to a live, two-sided mobile marketplace on both the App Store and Google Play. The platform serves two connected audiences: patrons who browse, save, and RSVP to local events, and hosts who publish and manage events, admit guests, and measure what's working. We prioritized fast time-to-launch and a clean discovery experience, then continued shipping refinements on a near-weekly cadence after the public release.

Patron Experience

• Discovery by category — Events, Activities, and Experiences
• Location-aware "Live" browsing to surface what's happening nearby
• Save events to revisit or attend later
• RSVP with full event details
• Follow hosts and receive event updates
• QR-based check-in for fast entry

Host Experience

• Create and manage events, activities, and experiences
• Host profile showcasing upcoming and past events
• QR check-in to admit and track attendees
• Analytics, including a Clicks metric showing how many patrons tapped through
• Optional external ticket links attached to posts
• Built-in subscription model with a first-month-free onboarding for early hosts

Delivery Highlights

From a standing start, Outsiide launched on iOS and Android in April 2026 as a complete two-sided marketplace with subscription monetization built in — then continued shipping improvements on a near-weekly cadence in the weeks following launch.
