Startup founders Biz Stone and Evan Sharp, known for their roles in Twitter and Pinterest, have secured $29 million in funding for their new social media startup, West Co. The company has introduced an invite-only app called Tangle, which emphasizes intentional planning. According to a report by the Financial Times, the app prompts users to set daily intentions, aiming to facilitate intentional planning, capture daily experiences, and recognize underlying patterns in life.
West Co’s CEO, Evan Sharp, highlighted the app’s purpose in addressing the negative impacts on mental and emotional well-being caused by traditional social media platforms over the past decade. The company’s vision is to enable users to share their objectives with friends, fostering a supportive environment for intentional living.
The app’s current version may evolve significantly before its official public launch, indicating a commitment to refining the platform based on user feedback and emerging trends.
