Social media technologies
The social layer of the internet is being rebuilt around AI-native feeds, creator ownership, and interoperable identity. We back the teams that turn attention into durable networks — not fleeting feeds.
Four layers of the new social stack
Creator economy infrastructure
Monetization rails, audience portability, and rights management that let creators own their businesses rather than rent them from platforms.
Distribution infrastructure
Video delivery, real-time messaging, and recommendation systems — the plumbing every social product stands on and few build well.
AI-native experiences
Feeds that generate as much as they rank, AI companions and co-creation tools, and the interfaces that come after the scroll.
Trust & safety tooling
Moderation at AI scale, authenticity verification, and provenance for synthetic media — the credibility layer social platforms now compete on.
What tells us a social technology will last
Attention is cheap; retention is expensive. We look past download charts to the mechanics that make networks durable.
Retention curves that flatten, not decay — usage that becomes habit
Creator earnings growing faster than creator count
Interoperability by design — open protocols over walled gardens
Trust & safety treated as product, not as PR
