Private Family Social Network App Kin Launches in UK
BUSINESS CLOUD - Mar 4 - Kin, a private social network app for families has launched in the UK with £2.3M funding. In the Kin app, families are able to keep in touch, share memories, images and record future messages in a safe and secure closed group, without having to navigate newsfeeds, influencers, or unwanted members. The pre-launch funding is the highest private network raise in Europe and values the business at ~£18M. Its founders Michael Collett and Matt Blom identified a gap in the market and a need for a social app designed for families by families that protect the personal data and media of its users. With Kin, each family group has access to its own shared space which is only accessible via an invitation from the designated group leader or 'KinPin'. This ensures that all the personal information, data, and media are kept completely private.
