MeWe is a social media platform that prioritizes privacy and aims to be ad-free. With 20 million users globally and over 700,000 interest groups, it distinguishes itself with its community-focused approach and a user-friendly experience. It stands out by avoiding algorithms, spyware, and newsfeed manipulation, aligning with its Privacy Bill of Rights. In a significant move, McCourt Global made a $27.00M Venture Round investment in MeWe in September 2022.
In early 2023, MeWe's commitment to user ownership and control led to an agreement with McCourt Global to transition to the blockchain through McCourt’s DSNP Web3 protocol. By January 2024, it had become the largest decentralized social media network in the world with over 630,000 active users on the blockchain.
MeWe's plans for the future involve leveraging these new technologies to introduce transformative user features and benefits, positioning itself as the most promising entity on the internet. As it continues to evolve, MeWe's slogan, "Next-Gen Social Network for Web3," seems to be fitting. The company was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in the United States.
