🎴 about koodos

at koodos, we're designing a space where people can turn the content they love into custom cards that they personally own, can take with them anywhere online, and can unlock new experiences with. the cards a person creates make up their personal, curated library of their favorite content. we're starting with music, and will be expanding to support all types of online content.

our vision is to (1) create meaningful connections between people through the content and creators they love, (2) shape online culture toward a direction that is more supportive and appreciative, and (3) spotlight the curator as an important and powerful category of online creators.

our NYC-based web3 startup is made up of a small family of digital explorers with backgrounds at YouTube, Facebook, MIT, Harvard, and Cambridge, each of us passionate about our vision and dedicated to creating important and positive experiences in cyberspace. we're backed by a roster of top tier investors - the backers of companies like Airbnb, Pinterest, Snap, and Twitter, as well as the founders of companies like Zynga, VSCO, and Scale and the people behind artists like Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, Lorde, Logic, and Panic! At The Disco, and many others.

"As you pass through the digital world - filled with content, ephemeral and fleeting - koodos is letting people state ‘I was here, this meant something to me’ and giving them the opportunity to make it a part of who they are online." - Prof. John Deighton
