Jobs in Germany
Our mission is to create a new platform that:
- facilitates joint activities in real life in particular doing sports, having meals together, visiting concerts and much more.
- consciously reduces and limits on-screen time while providing a similar level of information.
- actively suppresses the spread of fake news and polarizing content.
Why? Today's social networks are often linked to negative effects on mental health, addiction, and increasing loneliness. They are designed to maximize screen time through endless scrolling rather than to promote genuine interaction.
Status: A concept for the new service and its business case has been developed and a prototype with the functions Chat, Calendar and an initial version of Activities has been programmed in a manner that scales to 100M+ users.
I have studied computer science and will provide us with a strong technical expertise. For me this is not only a project - it's a mission I am fully committed to. Challenges get me motivated, just like in sports. Most importantly, the daily pursuit of this vision is fun and brings me great satisfaction.
Lets reshape social media together, because life’s best moments happen offline!
