Social Earth Network
Before meeting in person, know more about who you're meeting.
Social Earth Network is developing SOCI@L, a companion tool for mutual identity checks and meeting check-ins.
A profile does not always tell you who is behind it. We want to give people practical ways to reduce that uncertainty before an online conversation becomes an in-person meeting.
SOCI@L is currently at the prototype stage. Our aim is to support connections made on existing platforms, without asking people to join another social network.
We are seeking investor conversations to support the next stage of development and testing.
A clear plan before you meet.
Knowing more about someone’s identity is one step. Agreeing on where and when to meet is another. SOCI@L is being designed to bring those details into a shared meeting plan. Both participants would review the location and time, confirm their participation, and understand what information a check-in would share.
Agree on the details.
One participant would suggest a public meeting location and time. The other could accept, propose a change, or decline. The aim is straightforward: give both people the same meeting details without requiring them to share a home address or personal phone number.
Confirm your arrival.
At the agreed location, participants would be able to submit an arrival check-in. We are evaluating a process that combines a deliberate check-in action, location confirmation, and a newly captured selfie. The other participant would receive a limited update showing that a check-in was submitted for the meeting. The final design will explain what was checked and how current that information is.
Location for a purpose.
The proposed location feature would support a specific meeting check-in, not a public map of your movements. Before enabling it, you would be told when location information is collected, who can see it, and how long it is retained. You could choose not to continue if you were uncomfortable with those terms.
Plans can change.
Either person could cancel or withdraw from the meeting. Completing an identity check or submitting an arrival check-in would not create an obligation to stay.
A missing check-in would mean that no check-in was recorded. It would not, by itself, establish why someone had not responded or whether an emergency had occurred.
A check-in is an update, not a guarantee.
SOCI@L’s proposed meeting tools are intended to support communication and informed decisions. They would not establish that another person is trustworthy, guarantee a safe meeting, or provide emergency monitoring.
Privacy and Information handling
An identity check should not mean sharing everything.

Checking someone’s identity and sharing their personal information are different things. As we develop SOCI@L, our aim is to give participants useful confirmation without exposing identity documents or unnecessary personal details to each other.

An identity check should not mean sharing everything.
Before completing a check, participants would be told what information is requested, who processes it, and what the other participant can see. Our proposed approach separates the information needed to perform an identity check from the limited result shared within a meeting invitation.
Location with a defined purpose.
Clear policies before participation.

Location features are being considered for meeting-specific check-ins, not public tracking. The final design will explain when location is collected, how it is used, who can access it, and when it is deleted.

Verification providers, storage practices, retention periods, and deletion processes are still being evaluated. These details will be documented before people are invited to submit identity information through the service.
Development Status
A focused prototype. A practical next step
We are refining a companion experience for people who have already connected online and want to complete mutual identity checks before meeting in person.
The initial goal is to test immediate workflow priorities, not build another social network.
Meeting workflows, location features, notifications, and information-retention policies remain subject to development and testing.
Direct integrations with outside platforms remain a potential future direction. No platform partnership is implied.

Why we started.
Social Earth Network began with a concern about catfishing: people forming connections online without knowing whether the person behind a profile is who they claimed to be.
As the concept developed, it expanded into broader social and professional networking. we are now returning to that original problem with a more focused product direction.
Through SOCI@L, we are exploring how mutual identity checks and meeting check-ins could help people make more informed decisions about connections they have already made.
our movement foreward
Our role is not to decide whom someone should trust. It is to develop a clear process, explain its limits, and give people useful information before they choose to meet.
Investor call to Action
Help develop the next stage of SOCI@L
Social Earth Network is seeking investor conversations to support the development and testing of SOCI@L
Our next stage is about evidence: whether people will use the process, whether they understand its limits, and what it would take to deliver it responsibly.
We welcome discussions about the prototype, development priorities, verification approach, and milestones for an initial pilot.
