Overview
Pace creates online talk groups with live video for adults seeking authentic, meaningful conversations. Members join talk groups through a subscription, gaining access to live video sessions and a mature, community-driven space, with advertising generating additional revenue from data-driven targeting. What sets Pace apart is its focus on genuine, candid conversations in an 18+ environment rather than broad, impersonal social feeds. The goal is to provide a space for real conversations online while building a sustainable business from subscriptions and targeted advertising.
