Phoundr

A new kind of social app for founders. No algorithm just founders talking to founders.

Phoundr is a mobile social network for startup founders.

The feed is chronological. Posts appear newest first, with no ranking algorithm and no trending tab. A Following tab narrows it to the founders you follow. Posts are text only, up to 500 characters. You can reply, react with any emoji, join groups (open or invite-only), send direct messages, and save posts to read later. Direct messages require a mutual follow. Profiles show a founder stage: idea, building, shipped, or live. You pick an avatar from a preset set rather than uploading a photo.

Every account is verified by phone, and the app is limited to users 18 and older.

You can mute, block, and report other members.

Phoundr is invite-only and free. There are no ads and no in-app purchases. Phoundr does not sell user data and does not track you across other apps. Product analytics is opt-in at signup, and you can turn it off in Settings at any time. Direct messages are encrypted at rest with a Phoundr-managed key, on top of the database provider's own encryption.
