>> This is the description of an app I desire to build to help combat men's mental health problems. This idea seeded in my brain 5 years ago when I moved away from my friends and family for work and realized how lonely it could be living in a new city without a real life social network around me. I wanted to play sports and hang out with like minded and active people but didn't know how to approach other guys and couldn't find any pickup leagues to join. This is when I realized there should be a way to connect like minded guys to be able to get out and participate in life wherever they may find themselves. This is a huge part missing in many men's lives and it is very important that men get out and socialize with each other while being active and completing tasks to improve their mental health.
Currently I have a prototype for the app and I've been working with a developing company from South Carolina called "Easy Boy Web". They will continue to design and finalize the app, as well as host the app on their server.
I am asking for up to 100k so I can continue to fund the development of the app, as well as use some of the funding for marketing, leasing office space and hiring employees.
The target demographic for the app will be young men who are looking to fill out sports team rosters, find gym partners, and get out and participate in real life activities. Unlike many social network apps today, this app will be used as a tool to connect people in real life situations and help improve mental health instead of degrading it.
The app will generate revenue through mobile ad sales, possible small user fees, and organized events with proceeds going towards the app and also towards men’s health charities. I believe many companies would want to advertise on this app. These may include but not limited to:
- beer/liquor brands
- sportswear and gear brands
- clothing brands
- sports betting
- bars and clubs
- restaurants
- golf and country clubs
- vehicle brands
As the user base grows, so will the revenue. The cost for hosting and managing the app will stay at a steady predictable rate, whereas the revenue should grow exponentially. Due to the immense possible user base this growth could happen very quickly, as we have seen through examples of apps such as Tinder, Instagram and Pinterest. We would target a growth rate of at least 5%- 10% and level off at around 3% after 5-10years. Through organized events and user feedback we should be able to continue to generate interest and growth to hit these benchmarks.
The number of single lonely men is at an all time high, making this app extremely attractive to potential users. With the help of marketing I believe this could be a "viral" sensation because of the usefulness and the benefits the users will gain in their lives from using the app. Statistically less men than ever before are entering long term relationships with women, and cope by using video games to fill this void; many of these men will find themselves isolated looking for purpose in life. Dawg Pound gives men the opportunity to link up and experience life, fill social voids missing from lack of relationships and friendships, and create lasting real life bonds.

Being part of a team or society boosts your happiness and mental health – with a particularly positive effect on those with a disability.
This is according to new research from leading health provider Bupa, which found that people who are part of a team – such as work teams, sports teams, clubs based on hobbies and interests, online communities, religious or community groups are 24 per cent more likely than average to report that they are happy. This rises to an 80 per cent boost among disabled people in a team, who are also 33% more likely to say their mental health is good." - The Hippocratic Post >Dr Naomi Humber
About me: Hello angel investors! My name is Joe Bast, I'm 32 years old and I live in Ontario, Canada. I'm a licensed plumber and a licensed sprinkler fitter. I have a union job but I have desired to create my app to help out guys who may be struggling with depression and loneliness like I was just a few years ago. I am using my spare time and money to fund and create this app but I would really like this to become a full time thing and hopefully help out my community by creating more jobs but also help out the worldwide men's community by creating more opportunities and friendships for men.
