Yubo, founded in 2015 and headquartered in France, is pioneering the landscape of social media through its unique platform designed primarily for Gen Z. This mobile-first app is known for eliminating the traditional metrics of likes and follows, fostering an environment for genuine interactions. With its slogan, “We inspire a new generation to find out about the world and themselves,” Yubo positions itself at the forefront of social discovery.
The company places a strong emphasis on creating safe digital spaces, integrating safety into their operational ethos and collaborating with industry bodies and NGOs to set high child protection standards. Their mission resonates well with their expansive and diverse user base.
In its most recent funding round, Yubo secured a $47.50M Series C investment on 17 November 2020, backed by notable investors including Alven, IDInvest Partners, Iris Capital, Sweet Capital, Revaia, and Robin Haak. This investment positions Yubo for further growth in the dynamic social media industry.
