"Series, a small New York-based start-up, thinks it has a shot at winning a profitable share of the market. The business, only launched last year, is today revealing it has now signed up 10,000 daily active users who have collectively exchanged more than a million messages so far. Series is the brainchild of two Yale University students, Nathaneo Johnson and Sean Hargrow, who saw an opportunity to do something different in the social networking space."
""We are all used to a feed where we express the best version of ourselves," explains Johnson, now the firm's CEO. "But that rarely allows us to communicate our current state of expression - mainly due to the stigma of posting online. Series solves this by curating each interaction between your content and your audience to feel intimate and personal, something we couldn't do before.""
"I first interviewed Series in April, revealing that it had successfully completed a $3.1 million pre-seed funding round backed by a group of investors led by Parable. The company has also received business angel funding from Redditt CEO Steve Huffman and GPTZero co-founder Edward Tian. Since then, the business has made rapid progress, including Forbes naming Johnson and Hargrow on the 30 Under 30 (Social Impact) list of founders to watch in 2026."
