ABOUT US
A Never-Ending Journey
Our journey began with a shared vision among four dynamic individuals during our freshman year at Nova IMS. Faced with the challenge of finding personalized recommendations for activities that resonated with our interests, we discovered a void in the online space. It was this realization that ignited the spark to create something meaningful. Armed with our collective determination and fueled by the knowledge we were gaining in our studies, Out&About took shape in the last quarter of 2023.

Milestones
01
Inception of Out&About
Out&About was conceived in the last quarter of 2021 by four freshmen from Nova IMS. The idea was born out of the founders' struggle to find websites that could provide personalized recommendations for activities matching their preferences. Recognizing the absence of such a platform, they decided to take matters into their own hands.
02
Commencement of Development
With the knowledge acquired during their university studies, the team at Out&About initiated the development stage of the platform in the last quarter of 2023. This marked a significant step forward as the vision started transforming into a tangible product, leveraging their skills and expertise gained through their academic journey.
03
Launch of the 'Out&About Bot'
The culmination of efforts and dedication led to the official release of the 'Out&About Bot' in January 2024. This milestone marked the realization of the founders' vision to provide a platform that offers personalized recommendations for activities. The bot, powered by innovative algorithms and user preferences, aimed to enhance the user experience by simplifying the process of discovering and planning activities. The launch represented a crucial achievement in the company's journey, opening up new possibilities for users seeking tailored activity recommendations.
