About
NearVerse was a proximity Internet company based in New York City that developed LoKast, a mobile platform enabling real-time connection, messaging, and media sharing between smartphone users in the same physical location. The platform allowed users to create location-based group chat rooms discoverable by others nearby, share photos, videos, music links, and contacts over WiFi, 3G, and Bluetooth. NearVerse pioneered device-to-device and 3G/4G wireless networking to create what it called the proximity Internet — a layer of digital interaction anchored to physical spaces rather than remote servers. The company raised $1 million in seed funding and worked with Qualcomm Innovation Center on AllJoyn proximity technology.
