Co-founder Nicola Gunby is the co-founder of social and community networking app Cliq .

Launched in February 2023 , Cliq is an antidote to stereotypical social media platforms.

Users can join communities focused on their interests and hobbies.

The purpose of the communities is to arrange events so users can meet up in person and kindle friendships.

Social events can often be difficult for more introverted personalities.

With Cliq, the activity is the common interest, Gunby said.

"If you've got that common interest with someone, or you've done that activity, or it's the community's focus around something," she said.
