My top 3 "favorite" (aka juicy) discoveries about #WSocial, which I discuss on my blog:

1) The co-founders picked #ATproto but only started using the network WEEKS after their Davos launch
2) The CEO said "we also want to keep European data in Europe to maybe train European AI models with our data because we also have amazing AI companies in Europe" 🤯
3) W Social user "homersimpson"

Who’s behind W Social?
Folks like this:
“Ingmar Rentzhog, an entrepreneur who claims he found and helped develop the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg into a world phenomenon, also used her name to bring in almost SEK 10 million in venture capital for his company - without her knowledge, SvD has found. ‘We had no information about that’c says Svante Thunberg, the teenager’s father.”
***
“I'd venture to say that Rentzhog has a talent for spotting trends tied to societal causes - climate change, European digital sovereignty - and harnessing media attention to build businesses around them.”
