About Us

HiddenGems is a social platform where consumers can access posts about different unique locations that need to gain recognition (i.e cafes, museums, local small businesses). We are not only targeting small businesses, but also unknown recreational areas such as parks, beaches, and farmers markets. We want our consumers to use this website to add input about why they find a specific location to be admirable and worthwhile to visit through a post and a short description.

Mission

Our mission is to connect people with beautiful and memorable locations in the US, spread awareness about small businesses and community activities, all through a fun experience.
