About Follow

What if, instead of starting with features or business models, you started with outcomes? The real-world impact you want a platform to have, on people, on the planet and on society as a whole.

This mindset led us to take a radically different approach; we started at the end and worked backwards. We placed two dots on the horizon, the best possible life for people and the best possible life for our planet and reverse-engineered our way to an app.

To do this right, we needed a guiding framework. We looked to the Blue Zones: places in the world where people live significantly longer, healthier and happier lives. These insights became our foundation. We built Follow around five pillars that support human flourishing: An active social life, regular movement, wise nutrition, a good mindset and meaningful rest.

But because there is more to life than just your own well-being, we added two additional pillars. One for the people around you and one for our natural surroundings. Helping others and sustainability.

We know that building social media, and doing it well, is no small task. Social platforms are made by people, for people, and people are beautifully imperfect. But we're committed to designing a network that, at every level, is structured to bring out the best in us.
