Klink!

What Klink! does

Klink! is a mobile application that aggregates happy hour specials from bars and restaurants, enabling consumers to discover venues, browse 1,500+ drinks and food specials, and plan social outings through interactive maps and attendee visibility features. The product combines localized venue discovery with social networking mechanics, distributed through the iOS and Android app stores under a product-led and community-led go-to-market motion.

The platform operates a two-sided marketplace with 150+ venue partners on the supply side and 1,000+ consumer users on the demand side. Core product functionality includes an interactive map for venue discovery, social planning tools that surface attendee information, and a structured inventory of drink and food specials. No AI/ML components, proprietary models, or technical differentiation beyond curated venue data are disclosed in the available information.

Klink! was founded in 2025 and operates with a 1-10 employee team led by two named contacts (Sasha and Ayush). No funding rounds, parent company, pricing model, or revenue figures are disclosed. The business model is implied as a venue-side monetization (featured listings, premium placement, or sponsorship) combined with a freemium consumer app, though this is not explicitly stated. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, partners, or board composition.
