I'm building InnerCircle, a private alternative to social media for families and close-knit groups. No algorithm, no strangers, no data sold, ad-free for under 18s. Built in the UK, live on iOS and Android.
Why I'm the one building it: fifteen years inside enterprise technology gives you a clear view of how the modern internet actually works. Customer data becomes someone else's revenue. Attention is the product. "Free" is paid for somewhere. The family group chat shouldn't sit on the same business model as a casino, so I built the alternative.
Open to conversations with: families building healthier digital habits, journalists covering the under-18 social media debate, investors interested in privacy-first consumer products, and product leaders rethinking how complex technology gets to market.
Because behind the founder bio, I'm a dad with two kids growing up online. InnerCircle is my answer to a question I couldn't outsource: what kind of digital world do I want them in?
