Famm Connect: A New Social Network for LGBTQ+ Professionals
Famm, a platform showcasing queer-owned businesses, has launched Famm Connect, a dedicated social networking app for LGBTQ+ professionals and business owners. Available on iOS and Android, the app aims to create a safe and inclusive space for authentic engagement and collaboration.
This launch addresses the challenges LGBTQ+ individuals often face in professional settings, such as discrimination and lack of support. It also offers an alternative to mainstream platforms where disclosing sexual orientation or gender identity might hinder career prospects. For more on professional networking, see Griply App.
Key Features and Functionality
- Connection and Collaboration: The app offers standard features like a feed, direct messaging, and connection management.
- "Open To" Tags: Users can specify their interests, such as mentoring or volunteering, facilitating intentional interactions. This feature promotes meaningful connections, unlike incompatible updates.
- Business Listings: With plans to incorporate business listings, Famm Connect will provide a platform for LGBTQ-owned businesses to advertise, addressing the challenges they face on larger platforms. This aligns with Famm's original mission of supporting queer-owned businesses.
Currently invite-only, the free app allows unlimited referrals. Future updates include in-person networking events, job listings, and sponsored posts. For insights into software support lifecycles, see Xiaomi's EOL Policy.
