What Everyme does

Everyme is the private social network. With Everyme, you can share like you do in real life, in intimate Circles. A Circle is a private news feed between you and a group of people. It’s private and secure, so you no longer need to worry about who sees what. And because a Circle is created from your address book, you don’t need to convince everyone to sign up for yet another service in order to receive your stories, it just works.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built Everyme to be a private social network centered around intimate Circles. Each Circle is a private news feed created from your address book, so you share with groups of real-life friends without worrying about privacy or oversharing. It works without needing everyone to join a new service - your stories just reach the right people.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in Mountain View, CA. After YC, we plan to base the company here as well.

Explain your decision regarding location.

Mountain View is where we live and have direct access to engineering talent and the Silicon Valley network, which is important to us during and after YC.
