after 6 years of building and designing, i'm closing my beautiful chapter with @thecosmos.
watching what began as a small idea grow into what cosmos is today has been one of the most meaningful and fulfilling journeys i've experienced.
none of this would've been possible without @9th, and i can't imagine anyone better to carry it forward.
time to build something new 🌻
Introducing Cosmos: A Pinterest alternative for creatives.
We've raised a $6M seed round from @GVteam + @Accel and 50+ angels (more below).
Here's what we've been up to 👇🏼
New on Cosmos: Captions ✨
Cosmos now uses AI to trace the roots of images.
We automatically identify the creator, subject, style, and context — giving credit where it’s due and deepening your discovery.
A couple months ago I built joinvera.com with my friend @traf. Today, we prevented over half a million plastic items from entering the ocean, all thanks to our members 🤍
Introducing Plastic 01, a collection to get the look of plastic without the waste. The only way you should be using single-use plastics is digitally.
We’ve also made a donation to prevent 100,000 pieces of plastic from entering our oceans with joinvera.com 💙
Three years ago, @native and I began to reimagine what a new home for curation could look like.
Somewhere that felt artistic, cultured, and community-oriented. Somewhere that felt free.
It's time to introduce @TheCosmos 👽
Welcome to Cosmos. A home for curating your universe.
Save anything on the web, curate into clusters, and share with the world.

4 years ago, I started @UnfoldHQ with @alfonsocobo.
I've made the bittersweet decision to leave and build something new, but there's one last story to be told...
