About Zoe

The digital economy needs a reboot.

Why we built Zoe.

Ever feel like something's just...off about how we live online? Like there has to be a better way to connect, to thrive, without feeling like you're constantly being watched or used? Yeah, us too. That shared hunch sparked a quiet rebellion among our founders, giving birth to Zoe.

We believe AI isn't here to replace us. It's here to supercharge us. We firmly believe humans aren't a ‘bug’ in the system, and we're on a mission to forge real, reciprocal connections between people and businesses. It’s like a continuous feedback loop where your personal progress fuels community vitality—and vice-versa.

Our conviction that the digital economy is broken and AI should unapologetically uplift people became our North Star. Now, with the tech finally catching up to our human-first philosophy, and a world craving authentic connection, our vision is clearer than ever: A symphony of small wins, unlocking a legendary life.

The minds behind Zoe.

We're a collective of rebels, builders, gamers and dreamers - gaming industry experts, tech veterans, behavioral scientists, and creative strategists - united by a shared belief that the future of digital interaction must be radically different. We walked away from the old ways, and now we're building the future, piece by piece.
