About

Be twice the friend in half the time.

Social networks have helped us connect to vast numbers of people – people we like, or think are interesting. We collect these people as ‘friends’, but we often don’t keep up with them much after that, even when we want to. Making connections is easy, but maintaining and growing connections is hard.

That’s where Socialfly comes in. Socialfly lets you decide which people matter to you, and keeps you on top of those relationships. Never forget to talk to someone again, and never forget what you’ve talked about. Follow up with those plans you’ve made, and keep making more. Isn’t it about time there’s a service that helps you with this?

About Us

We’re two recent Stanford grads that have a simple problem - we can’t keep up with all the people we like. We’ve tried everything, including excel spreadsheets with macros (yes we’re a bit OCD), but found everything out there was too cumbersome and time consuming. We needed something that wasn’t more hassle than it was worth. Thus, Socialfly was born.

Nick Punt

Nick is the idea guy and product sage at Socialfly. Give him enough time on a problem and you’ll get at least one product mock along with big picture theory of why the design is optimal. Being a typical product guy, he appreciates simplicity, beauty, and the fuzzy feeling that a well designed product evokes. Nick’s done a little bit of everything - 3 years of video game design, a stint in Yahoo!’s social networking division, research design in HCI and neuroscience, and educational software development. Nick holds a BA in Psychology from UC Irvine and an MBA/MA Education from Stanford (c/o 2007).
