About Click

We're a team of Computer Science students at the University of Washington building tools for real-world connection, not another endless feed.

For what Click does, why it exists, and how to join the waitlist or create an account, see the homepage.

What we're building

Stop scrolling. Start living. Click is a people-first social utility for the seconds when someone in front of you actually matters, backed by room-real tech and math you never have to think about.

Proximity Tap

Tri-Factor Handshake: secure Bluetooth and inaudible sound prove you are in the same room before anything exchanges. No hardware rabbit holes, no awkward phone pass. If you can see them, you can connect.

Multi-Tap and organic cliques

Whole crew at once? Everyone connects on the same beat. We validate the full set in the background, then open a verified group chat so the night keeps going in one thread instead of seven stray DMs.

Availability intents

Broadcast what you are up for for up to twenty-four hours, from coffee runs to study blocks to live music. When your friends' intents overlap, we let you know. Less guessing, more showing up.

Meet the team

Five of us are working on product, mobile, and web, with a focus on campus life and making big transitions (new school, new city, new semester) a little less lonely.

Kairui Cheng

Paul Allen School of Computer Science, UW 2029

Frustrated by adding people on Instagram and never talking again, I led product development for both the Click mobile app and website. Kairui has experience in developing full stack applications, utilized by journalists, advocacy groups, and lawyers from across the nation.

Matthew Epshtein

Paul Allen School of Computer Science, UW 2029

I helped with product design and development, motivated by an experience at UW's orientation and Dawg Daze events which left me wanting more. Matthew has experience in mobile and server-side development, as well as in leadership, project management and technical writing.

Andrew Lu

Paul Allen School of Computer Science, UW 2029

I heard the idea from Kairui and found it compelling. I've always found that messaging with online strangers never sat right with me. Andrew has worked with teams on fine-tuning LLMs and has web development experience through previous projects.

The idea of Click resonated with me as I've always struggled with maintaining relationships between recent acquaintances. Jaret has experience with full stack development as well as game design from previous projects.
