FOMO Social

About FOMO Social

We're rewriting the rules of brand attention.

FOMO Social is the brand console for ComeClosely. We built it because attention got cheaper to buy and harder to earn — and the brands behind the moments we love deserved a better deal.

Our mission

Close the loop on attention.

For two decades, brands have rented attention from platforms that keep the audience, the data, and most of the dollars. The user gets ads, the brand gets impressions, and nobody walks away with a real relationship.

We think the loop should close. A dollar a brand spends to earn attention should come back to that brand as a redeemed ticket, a free dessert, a wristband, an upgrade. The user wins something real. The brand keeps the audience.

FOMO points are the simplest expression of that idea: a closed currency, pegged to USD, that only moves between you and the people who showed up for you.

★ ManifestoNo. 001

“Stop renting attention. Start owning the loop.”

Every point a brand puts into the system comes back as a redeemed reward at that same brand. No leakage, no laundering, no middleman skim.

How we got here

Four years. One loop, getting tighter.

  • 2022Milestone

    Founded

    Two product engineers, one frustrated marketer, and a shared bet that ad spend was broken.

  • 2023Milestone

    ComeClosely launches

    The consumer app ships on iOS & Android — a social layer for the moments people show up for.

  • 2024Milestone

    First brand partners

    Festivals and indie venues co-design the early reward mechanics. Engagement-per-dollar 3x display ads.

  • 2025Milestone

    FOMO points go live

    Stripe-backed wallets, Passport-secured ledger, and the first closed-loop campaign hits 50K pts in a weekend.

  • 2026Milestone

    Today

    Hundreds of campaigns running across festivals, music, restaurants, and retail — same loop, more orbits.

What we believe

The principles that shape every decision.

Closed-loop by design

Dollars enter as points, fund campaigns, get earned by users, and are redeemed only at your brand. No middleman skim, no point-laundering, no leakage.

Brands stay in control

You define what earns, what redeems, and what unlocks. We provide the rails, the ledger, and the audience — never a templated playbook you can't override.

Real engagement, not bot farms

Every point is tied to a verified ComeClosely identity, an attended moment, or a measurable share. You pay for attention you can recognise.

The team

Built by people who've shipped at scale.

Veterans of consumer social, payments infra, and live-event production. We've all worked somewhere where attention was the product — and decided to build something better.
