We are building what social medias are lacking, going out and experiencing the world because you saw it in the phone you hold in your hands. New generations are a bit fed up with scrolling, at least some of us, so yes it is a fintech, yes we aim to go for a payment system which is technically more digital, less hardware more efficiency, but we are also firstly building an ecosystem more than just the tangible software app, to embody the content inside the app realized outside in the world. The aim is to make you more human through the digitalization process, to see a great piece of content made by a content creator and then to know where, when, how and with who and live it! Us, new generations fed up with scrolling, would not be fed up with social media if there was a possibility of genuinely living the experience so blatantly promised on our beloved dreamy black screens. Nothing wrong with social media, yet it lacks humanity at a certain point. That's why it should be about connecting the person's desire and reason for liking a content, with the opportunity of living it, and not only that paying it in ways of the future. We do that with nightlife, with restaurants, hotels and travels, because that's the missing piece. We all dream about our holidays in a tv spot around going to Hawaii, so why can't we make it a reality, the business are clearly promoted, the people are facilitated towards what they want. Movida is a spanish word indicating people living their lives all together in free time, in the streets, having fun, usually at night. Movida recalls the concept of moving yourself, because our idea is to enable you have fun, make it possible for you to move out of the screen and be, live, love, travel. What is the meaning of these social medias and digital apps otherwise? To make you trapped in your own house? Or to be out there, living, contributing to the economy and to others. To be human, is to be a social animal: not easy in this society. Yet we must try.
