Own.App Announces Beta Launch to Empower Autonomous Creators with Higher Payouts and Content Ownership

Own.App, a social media platform built for autonomous creators and users alike, is thrilled to announce its upcoming beta launch. The platform started as a mission to disrupt the profit-centric models of legacy social media companies which often leave creators undercompensated and users addicted. Own.App has built a platform to empower creators and redefine the creator economy by providing instant virality, higher-payouts and ownership of content and followers.

Own.App has partnered with rising influencers across the world and is co-created and designed by the co-creator and CCO of Tinder and Bumble, Sarah Mick, who now serves as Own.App's CCO. The platform is poised to become the go-to destination for creators looking to monetize, go viral rapidly, and lead the next wave of social media innovation in an increasingly complex and competitive creator economy.

In a landscape where creators are often left navigating rigid algorithms and opaque monetization strategies, Own.App sets a new standard. The app prioritizes transparency, equitable revenue sharing, and accessibility, with bespoke tools tailored for creator empowerment. From livestreaming to built-in marketplaces and real-time collaboration features, creators now have an all-in-one platform to grow their brand and income without intermediaries.

Some of the most up and coming names in the creator economy are joining Own.App to pave the way for its launch. Early leaders include lifestyle influencer Carlota Madrigal with over 6M combined followers, fashion designer Gigi Ford leading entrepreneurship in Mexico, comedy-focused personality Izzy Rocha, Italian social media model Antonella Caruso, and clothes designer Natalie Boxall. The growing roster of Own.App Creators are shaping and guiding the platform into a space where talent and creativity are found, celebrated, and rewarded.

Own.App stands out through several key features: creators earn directly and instantly from fans and brands through features like tipping, licensing, sponsorships and digital storefronts with the lowest fee percentage across all platforms, making it the highest payout platform to content creators. The platform's algorithm is built on a novel meritocracy system rather than user data, providing equal accessibility and opportunity to all creators. Users can discover the best content through an AI-powered, bot-proof system free of echo-chambers on their personalized feed.

The platform is built on a novel privacy-focused storage system, ensuring creators own their content and followers while all users fully control and own their personal data. Own.App is fully decentralized, built on a decentralized cluster storage system stored across users' phones with cloud-speed performance. All user data, followers and content are private key protected via the Own.ID zero proof identity layer and completely owned and controlled by the users.

Amir Kaltak, CEO and Co-Founder of Own.App, stated that their mission is to empower a new generation of autonomous content creators, giving them the rails to grow and monetize their brand. He emphasized that social media is overdue for a true shift where people deserve a platform where their work is valued, their voices are heard, and their potential is limitless while maintaining full sovereignty of their online identities. Katia Zaitsev, Co-Founder and COO, described it as more than an app but a movement towards true ownership of online and offline identity where creativity is celebrated.
