“Yuvoice is the pro-democracy social media company that rewards users for tangible impact. It’s 2025, and traditional social media is broken.
Activists drown in outrage. Fandoms fracture into toxicity. Real connections get buried under ads and algorithms. 60% of youth say social media is broken.
Why Yuvoice?
We are the global townsquare you’ve been waiting for: one that recognizes impact should be easy, rewarding, and scalable. Karma points are rewarded for action. Friendships feel genuine. And your feed fuels change, not rage.
66% of GenZ say their activism is online. We are where they go to act, not talk.”

Notes:
- https://www.linkedin.com/in/isvari/
- https://yuvoice.com/
- Lots of things are completely wrong with social media, media, culture, etc.
- American Eagles Sydney Sweeney’s ad – blonde blue-eyed person saying they have “better jeans”
- If they had done an ethical ad, it wouldn’t have gotten any attention
- They’ve done this type of stuff deliberately – all publicity is “good publicity”
- YuVoice did 2+ years of consumer research
- We don’t want to reward bad behaviour – bad for society, bad for world
- Don’t want notification fatigue
- So many people chase money as an end goal… Elon Musk in addition to making others miserable is miserable himself, despite being rich
- How can I do good if I can’t even put food on the table
- The current system support good people
- Social Media companies are trying to make SHARE HOLDERS HAPPY!
- The money people are totally different from the users
- We have seen X fall in value
- Meta is losing share value
- Tumblr has lost steam
- BlueSky still doesn’t have a clear path to profitability
- Focused on friendships and connections

- The only way to boost posts is via Karma points – which are earned by doing good stuff
- Current social media rewards the best advertisers – YuVoice rewards people who do good instead
- YuVoice makes money from swag, and from companies to use platform
- No advertising

- We align people with their desire to do good with actions
- Superhero Townsquare
- Like a online village where you interact with real people, work on global projects, sell merch, utlize global payment transfer
- Censorship
- YuVoice.org – non-profit partner
- Inspired by an independent non-profit
- Those standards are determined by that independent organization – YuVoice.org
- YuVoice money will not come from businesses – so they will not bow to their interest
- YuVoice will not tolerate hatespeech – but other than that, there is no censorship
- Ted: we should focus on the 2% of change makers
- Isvari:
- We want all eyeballs on us, and move away from current destructive systems
- E.g. onlyfans was originally meant for fandom – but now it’s basically primarily a sex oriented site
- You have to build the community first that shape the platform
- Salman: how would you deal with anti-Palestine censorship
- Isvari: we are not led by zionists, neo-nazis, or any other capitalists buying up all of Hawaain land, etc.
- We are run by folks that genuinely want to make the world a better place

- We won’t need to censor people as much – our platform won’t reward rage – we don’t care about viral content – we are intentionally non-influencer focused
- Rage-bait is very easy to identify – we won’t censor –
- Reem: who is supporting you?
- Has a list of advisors – should be on the site soon
- We don’t have any official partnerships yet
- Currently don’t have any angel investors yet – has turned away investors with big money t make sure the platform doesn’t get tainted
- Biggest partner is YuVoice.org is what started YuVoice.com – they are the primary partner for now
- YuVoice.org sentinel is largely run by volunteers
- Still looking for a good lead angel investor
