Vision

I left Uber in 2017 heartbroken. I had been torn away from an idea and a movement that I had poured my life into. I had lost my bearings as I found the world increasingly operating by the rules of perception not reality.

It was only days after the death of my mother and the near death of my father in a boating accident when an investor decided to come out from the shadows and exploit this vulnerable moment to wrestle control of this idea away.

I bled, but I did not perish. I got back up and fought my way back into the arena, back to my calling. Back to building.

What emerged from those years of struggle was a clarity I hadn't possessed before — a conviction that the most meaningful technology is built not from ambition alone, but from necessity, from loss, from the desperate need to make something true in a world full of noise.

someone@ is that conviction made tangible. It is an attempt to build infrastructure for honest connection — tools that serve people rather than extract from them. We don't optimize for engagement. We optimize for meaning.

The road ahead is long. But we have been down long roads before.
