Confetti is a social media app designed for groups, enabling seamless shared experiences and socially centered interactions. Unlike traditional platforms, Confetti focuses on group based posting, creating a scrapbook-like archive of shared content that fosters real world connections. The app introduces an interactive element through Reacts, allowing users to drag emojis onto photos and videos, making content engagement more dynamic. Additionally, Confetti utilizes AI-powered Vibes, assigning users a social identity based on how their friends interact with their content, reinforcing authenticity and peer validation.

Confetti partnered with Roveir to develop a targeted market strategy, identify key campuses for initial adoption, and refine its user acquisition approach. Roveir helped Confetti analyze student behaviors, test key engagement strategies, and implement phased launch plan tailored to university environments.
