Where you go is who you are.
Strava's obsession with movement. Foursquare's love of place.
Smashed together. Set on fire.
Great at miles. Zero about the café at km 5. Location is just backdrop, not the story.
Check-ins with no soul. Where your friends went — without any feeling of how they got there.
Google tells you how to get somewhere. Nothing tells you what it felt like to run through it.
Yelp shows strangers' ratings. No one shows you where your most active friends actually go.
Track your runs, rides, and walks — and light up every café, park, and hidden gem you move through. Your activity becomes a living map. Your friends follow the trail. Your city becomes yours.
Start any activity. Flamingo tracks your path with full GPS precision in real-time.
Auto-detect venues you pass or stop at. Drop a "flame" — your review, your vibe, your memory.
See where your crew moves. Follow trails. Discover places through people whose taste you trust.
Your city as a personal heat map. Streets you own glowing white-hot. The dark ones begging to be explored.
A live feed of your circle's movements. Who's mid-run. Who just found a spot worth stalking.
Not stars. Flames. 1–5 fires dropped in context of your actual route. Honest. Fast. Earned.
Own a corner, a trail, a café. Defend your territory against challengers in real-time.
A scrollable highlight reel auto-stitched from your check-ins and flames. Share it. Make it legendary.
Tell it your mood, distance, vibe. It builds a route threading your friends' top-flamed spots along the way.
The intersection of the $9B fitness app market and the $5B local discovery market — with a social layer neither has cracked. India alone: 300M+ under-35 smartphone users, exploding fitness culture, zero dominant local social player.
Starting in Mumbai, Bangalore, Delhi, Hyderabad, Pune — where fitness culture is exploding and no one owns the social layer yet.
All figures from closed beta — 12,000 testers across Mumbai and Bangalore. Zero paid acquisition.
