The elevator pitch.
TrekMeet is a local-first, offline-capable community platform that unifies discovery, safety, and logistics for outdoor enthusiasts. Purpose-built for hikers — not adapted from a generic events template.
It handles the noise — offline maps, live GPS tracking, group chat, event management, and SOS and emergency-contact tools — so hikers can put their phone away and reconnect with nature.
How it was built
The story.
TrekMeet’s story is as much about how it was built as what it does. A solo founder took it from the first line of code in October 2025 to live on both platforms in eight months, and keeps building: connections, group chat, and smarter trail discovery are live for Closed Beta Round 2 testers.
All of it built through a disciplined human-AI workflow. What is live today is set out in the Strategic Blueprint below.
Who’s behind it
About the founder.
Manish is a computer science graduate and product manager by trade, based in Sydney. He founded OZ Outdoors in 2020 as a volunteer trail leader, growing it into a thriving community of over 3,000 members across two active hiking groups.
Having led over 450 hikes personally, Manish built TrekMeet to solve the logistical headaches he faced every weekend on the trail. What sets him apart: he shipped the entire product — app, website, and infrastructure — without a technical co-founder, using AI-assisted engineering as his development team.

The Problem
Outdoor enthusiasts juggle five apps for every weekend hike: Meetup for the event, WhatsApp for chat, AllTrails for the route, PayPal for petrol splits, SMS for safety contacts. No platform takes an outdoor experience from planning through maps, safety, and community — all in one place.
Our Vision
To become the default platform for organised outdoor experiences — starting with Australia, expanding by community. A purpose-built mobile platform where every trail is navigated, every community is built, and every explorer feels at home.
What We’ve Built
Live today: offline vector maps with 100 curated Australian trails, live location sharing, Solo Mode with GPX import, direct messages and group chat, groups and group events, Journey stats, and share links with web previews. Built offline-first, with secure cloud sync across devices.
The Methodology
Built by a single founder working with an AI agent team — not a metaphor, a literal development workflow. Every feature ships through a disciplined, structured process, and each commit carries the line Crafted with Claude Code. The build method itself is becoming a second product. The long-term roadmap: a complete Solo Founder Operating System.
