Excited to share what we're working on @memprotcol and to announce our $3.1M Seed led by @a16z with participation from angels and funds who align with our vision to create the social graph for web3.

Couldn’t think of a better description of the culture in SF. H/t @andy_matuschak
@abhimvyas @Altimor @ViableBen @paulg It is remarkably enabling, in difficult to describe ways, to be constantly surrounded by people who are very intensely pursuing interests aligned with yours.

Google results are mostly advertisements disguised as advice.
A recent small medical issue has highlighted how much someone needs to disrupt Google Search. Google is no longer producing high quality search results in a significant number of important categories.

I believe we need a ‘search engine’ with qualified humans in the loop who are rewarded for surfacing high signal information.
Is there a science search engine I can subscribe to which is much better than Google?

web3 brings the ability to put the internet to work for YOU, instead of the platforms that have defined web2. In order for that to happen, we need new primitives, so I’m thrilled to announce that @a16z is leading the seed round in @memprotocol, building the social graph for web3.

Once you bring your relationships to Mem, take them with you across the web. We're in conversation with a few applications to integrate with Mem Protocol and hope to share them soon.

To start, we're onboarding people to their on-chain identities (in closed-beta) and enriching their profiles with off-chain data—the relationships they have with the different people in their lives.

Doing so successfully won't just better align companies with the consumers they serve, it will inspire better apps and outcomes for everybody involved.

The web3 social graph should be different. It should be empowering. It should shift control from those who collect the data to those who create it.

In a world where you control your friend graph, the way you do offline, you'd carry your friends with you across the web and invite them to see what you're doing. My friend @robneal28 should see a different version of my profile than my co-worker @IshikaMukerji.

To access your friend graph today, you're required to go through an intermediary. Seeing your Facebook friends on Spotify requires a contract negotiated on your behalf.

At Mem, we think deeply about how to get the internet to work for you. It’s important to us that you get to define yourself, share the experiences that matter, and connect with others on your terms.
