About Us

MOTH is a platform designed to make finding belonging effortless. Whether you’re looking for a welcoming café where conversations flow, a bookstore that fosters community, or a social group aligned with your interests, MOTH helps you discover places where you feel at home.

 

Unlike traditional review sites or social media, we prioritize intentional storytelling, mood-based filtering, and community insights to highlight spaces that go beyond transactions and create real connections. We don’t just list places. You’ll hear their stories, meet the people shaping them, and learn about the communities they serve.​

​

MOTH is for anyone seeking a sense of belonging. Whether you’re new to a city, looking to expand your social circle, or simply searching for spaces where you feel seen and valued.

 

But MOTH is more than just a discovery tool. We hope to build a culture of authenticity and connection.

​

Too many people feel lonely and disconnected, unsure of where they truly belong. Social media is overwhelming, review platforms are impersonal, and most discovery tools do not prioritize human connection. Worse, many platforms are profit driven, optimizing for ad revenue and engagement rather than meaningful relationships. MOTH is different. We are impact driven. Our goal is not to keep people scrolling, but to help them find the people and places that make them feel their best.

​

That is why we focus on amplifying the voices of the people and places making a difference. Through curated storytelling, collaborative events, and community driven initiatives, we help spaces become gathering places and ensure their stories do not get lost in the digital noise. We’re starting by spotlighting incredible spaces and the people behind them, with pop-up events bringing these stories to life this spring.

​

MOTH exists to help you find your place and help communities thrive. Because everyone deserves to feel like they belong wherever they are.
