Nerdies focuses on that large population of people who often just don’t fit in.
They do not like sports, are six times more likely to play video games than ride a bike, could care less about the social scene, pay no attention to the latest fashion trends or care whether they are in the “popular” crowd. They are a group of smart inquisitive people who love to learn, explore new areas and just be themselves.
Most of the world calls these people nerds, at Nerdies we call them our “nerds” and see them as a great business opportunity.. .
