Beyond the digital divide
Our mission: create the largest online community dedicated to freedom of expression through healthy, respectful, and productive conversations.
Meet John
John Matze
CEO and President
John is a tech visionary, free speech evangelist, and our Head Hedgehog. He is one with social media, but he’s truly an engineer and entrepreneur at heart. He can speak 2.5 languages, juggle, and ride a unicycle — but not all at the same time (yet).
Meet Jared
Jared Thomson
Chief Technology Officer, @Jared
Jared is our head tech developer guru and a startup veteran. He uses his background and deep knowledge of software and systems engineering to build meaningful communities. He’s definitely the guy to call for good ideas (he’s been called “a human encyclopedia” more than once). He is a man of few words, but don’t let that fool you — when he speaks, the computers listen.
