Affinity as Identity, for a Real Social Media

Mar 5, 2019

11:00am – 12:00pm CT

Social media is neither social nor media, and it’s tearing us apart. We offer a fresh alternative, inspired by brilliant folks on the spectrum, who connect best to others and the world through their deep and varied interests. We come at connection from the opposite direction, as users gather online in real time around favorite content, turning their passions into a new kind of screen-sharing, bond-building, affinity-based network that’ll change education, therapy, and reverse social isolation.
