News of the Day

In a bid to counteract the digital fragmentation of the modern psyche, tech luminaries Biz Stone and Evan Sharp have secured $29 million for their latest venture, West Co., a social media startup aimed at intentional living. Spearheaded by Spark Capital, this seed funding fuels the development of Tangle, an invite-only application that pivots away from the mindless scrolling of legacy platforms to focus on a central daily question: "What’s your intention for today?" Sharp, serving as CEO, frames the project as a direct response to the "terrible devastation" wrought by the social media landscape of the last fifteen years, positioning the tool as a way for users to map the deeper threads of their lives alongside a trusted circle of friends. While the concept currently centers on goal-sharing and reflective planning, Stone has signalled that the platform remains in a fluid state, with the potential for significant evolution before it finally breaks out of its exclusive beta and into the public eye.
