QUOTES

• “The more that I researched and dug into it, the more that I realized there's this massive gap in protection for social media users, especially for creators and for businesses that rely on these platforms to advertise and sell their products and services. And it sparked the idea for me for Sociable.”
• “So in the event of a hack, if a content creator or an influencer gets hacked, every day that they go without producing or making any content, they're losing money, they're losing revenue. So we would replace that money, that lost revenue, every single day until we recover the account or up to a certain amount of time.”
• “I wanted to help bridge the gap between the massively exploding creator economy and the security measures that platforms just aren't keeping up with.”
