Amplifying Vulnerable Voices
We create social technology infused with humanity. Our mission is to link poetry with processors to shape our shared story around the better angels of our nature. We are audio-first and audio-only. We are working to bring Shout! and Wisdom into the world …
Conversations That Matter
Wisdom provides the help you need at the moment you need it from the only person in the world who can provide it. We democratize access to mentorship.
Hangout & talk!
Fun, audio-first, and hands-free! It’s like an easy and FUN version of Discord! Go shout with your Besties!
Our Commitment to Safety
Vulnerability begins with safety.
Vulnerability is the key to every great conversation, and there can be no vulnerability without safety. Our conversations never stop and neither does our moderation. We maintain 24-hour-a-day, 365-day-a-year coverage of our abuse reporting systems. We invest ourselves in ensuring a community that is kind, welcoming, and conducive to vulnerable voices.
Why Audio?
Audio is the most human of mediums, the most empathic, the most vulnerable, the most true.
Consider text, so easily scanned, so manipulated toward reaction and outrage. Consider photo and video, so focused on appearance, on falsity.
Only audio holds the promise Vannevar Bush imagined in 1945 … a human-machine collaboration that makes us more human. Social Audio promises nothing less than an automated way to not only tap into the wisdom of humanity but to shape that wisdom.
We are not out to empower Creators — not only that. We are out to link poetry with processors— to give voice to that rebellious sense of wonder, that precondition for gratitude, that foundation for all creativity.
We imagine a world in which every person on the planet not only taps into the sum total of all human knowledge but through the intermingling of minds forges new thoughts … new wisdom.
We hearken back to the cave, conversations around campfires, then we leave the cave, soar above the trees, above the forest, and we link every wise human, every friend. We link them all to each other. We link their wisdom, their empathy, their vulnerability, and we let those links create a new story.
If the medium is the message, then our message is audio—audio-first, audio-only. We understand its humanity, its substance. We create social technology infused with humanity, not to monetize it, but to enhance it, to shape it. We do not reduce individuals to so many bits and bytes. We amplify vulnerable voices, shaping our shared story around the better angels of our nature.
We know why we started this company, and we know what we are devoted to … wisdom, community, and each other.
