Social news app
We started Wildfire during our senior year at UC Berkeley as a safety alert app for colleges. Wildfire quickly grew beyond a campus safety tool to a social news app, which empowered people to spread the word quickly to their community when something significant happened nearby. Over six years, we've sent 65 million alerts to nearly 1 million users.
Wildfire started as a campus safety alert tool at UC Berkeley and evolved into a social news app that enables local people to share timely information within their community. It later joined Opendoor in 2021 and has grown to reach nearly 1 million users with tens of millions of alerts.
Wildfire is a social news app that allows users to share timely, location-relevant information within their community. It started as a campus safety alert tool and expanded into a broader social news platform, enabling users to post and view local updates, engage in discussions, and access localized content during significant events. The app emphasizes community connection and rapid information spread among campus or local networks.
Who it’s for: Students and campus communities seeking localized, real-time information and social exchange about events, safety, housing, and community happenings.
