About
Based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and founded in 2019 by co-founders Michael Askew and Matthew Gaziano, ASKWHO FZ LLC, trading under the name Belong, is an application that allows local people to share, learn, and gain knowledge on the topics they care most about. In October 2023, Belong raised USD 1. 5 million in pre-series A funding. The company provides a social platform that invites users to join localized group discussion pages that focus on particular interests such as fitness, outdoors, art, lifestyle, travel, and wellness within a certain city, designed to improve people’s mental health and promote a sense of community.
The firm's application is available for free download on the app store and has a premium subscription option for additional features. The company will use the October 2023 funding to improve the features of its social app and expedite its expansion in major cities like San Francisco and New York in the US and Dubai in the UAE.
