Yale Students Launch AI-Powered Social Network on iMessage, Attracting Major Investments
Yale University students Nathaneo Johnson and Sean Hargrow have developed a new social network called Series, which operates within the iMessage platform. This innovative project has successfully secured $5.1 million in funding from prominent investors, including Venmo co-founder Iqram Magdon-Ismail and Reddit CEO Steve Huffman. The Series platform is designed to facilitate connections by allowing users to send messages to a designated number via iMessage. The system then matches users with profiles that align with their interests and goals, enabling communication without disclosing personal phone numbers. Currently, the service is utilized by over 750 university students and professionals from various sectors. The founders aim to expand their engineering team and enhance the platform's capabilities with the newly acquired funds.
