How MeWe Grew to 20M As A Privacy-First Social Media App

In this episode, we are joined by Mark Weinstein, a tech entrepreneur, thought leader, privacy advocate, and one of the original inventors of social networking. He is a founder of MeWe, the privacy-first social network app. Named one of the “Top 8 Minds in Online Privacy” and a “Privacy by Design Ambassador,” Mark has been featured in The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Fortune, CNN, and more. His TED Talk on “The Rise of Surveillance Capitalism” has inspired technologists worldwide.

He’s going to talk about how indie founders can leverage AI and social media marketing to scale apps, attract investors without massive ad spend, and why ethics, privacy, and mental health must be at the core of product design.
