The Manifesto

Big Tech took your Main Street. We're taking it back.

They turned your city into a feed and sold it back to you as ads. We're building the infrastructure to undo that, and hand local its power again.

Why We Started

Local businesses don't lose because they're worse. They lose because Big Tech owns the distribution, and rents it back to chains.

$1.451B

What local businesses in two metros paid Big Tech in a single year, just to be seen in their own neighborhoods. That's roughly 40,000 local jobs, vanished into ad spend.

The Big Tech Tax Report drops in the press soon.
What We're Building

Infrastructure that levels the field.

The same visibility chains pay millions for. AI that does the work of an entire team, built for how local actually operates. Systems designed for circulation, not extraction.

Why It Matters

Find the best taco spot three blocks away, not the chain pushed to the top of your search, and the money stays in your neighborhood.

When you explore instead of scroll, you meet people. Real connection happens in real places. Strong local economies build strong communities. That's the whole point.

Built By Rebels

We don't play by their rules. Their rules were built to keep you losing.

They optimize for
Extraction. We build for circulation.
They design for
Addiction. We design for exploration.
They consolidate
Power. We distribute it.

We're rebels because we had to be. Because no one else was building this, and waiting for the system to fix itself meant watching more neighborhoods die.

Are you a rebel too?

This is infrastructure. This is how local comes back.
