Strings is a platform for collaboratively creating and sharing media-rich stories. You might be tempted to call us a social media platform, but we’re more fundamentally a publishing platform. Users create distinct “strings” about independent topics, rather than maintaining a one-size-fits-all persona for their entire audience. These strings are conversational and ongoing in nature, and users have extensive control over their content, contributors, and their audiences. By allowing our users to choose whether to open up or restrict the audiences that can access each of their unique strings, Strings enables new models for how consumers, content publishers, and brand advertisers can interact. We are well-funded and growing our team.
