About iMiMatch: How It All Started and What it’s all about
The one stop shop for all immigrant-specific needs; Find all the support you will need when you land in your destination country.
Some of the best ideas and visions come to us, not in our best moments, but during those times when backs are against the wall, and with chips down, some sort of third eye opens and for the first time in a long while, we become aware; aware of the problem, a solution, ourselves and our place in the universe. This is how a young African’s trip to Silicon Valley, and his lowest point, will bring to life an innovative project that is revolutionizing social media and interaction for immigrants, in not just the US, but the world at large. Moving to the US in 2018, from Africa will go solo five months later, in November that same year and move to Silicon Valley, leaving friends and family behind in Virginia, to find more for himself and them.
Silicon Valley had everything except for what everyone naturally craves at some point in life, company. He felt the need for company but not just any kind; Africans like him. In his quest, he went on many social media platforms just to see if he could meet someone who understood his reality and shared his cultural background but found none. One of the best places in the world, financially, had opportunities, money, and technology to spare, but no connections, true connections; friends, family, love. This is how iMiMatch was born.
He could not find anyone who understood his love for pidgin or could laugh at the jokes he had grown up with; it was a reality, only this was alternate.
Life gives lemons and we make lemonade, and iMiMatch was born in the loneliness of Silicon Valley.A match making site for immigrants to meet people from their hometown or country that live near them.
For example, an American that has moved to Africa will now be able to find other Americans living near him in Africa. A platform where immigrants all over the US and why not the world, can find, meet, and discover each other, originally just among compatriots, and then the idea grew as development progressed, to include other immigrants from other nations.
Other than a place of friendship, iMiMatch allows users to keep up to date with the most trending topics around the world, from sports to politics, creating a space and environment where they can have honest, open, and respectful discussions and debates about the world of today. iMiMatch is a true social hub that reflects the digital society of today, and the future of human interaction.
