Telos is an alternative twice as free as social media. It's free of charge and more importantly ads. We break the shekels of the perverse incentive model which now for over two decades has rewarded big tech to develop the most distracting and addicting intricate technology in human history through 'persuasive technology.'
At every turn, for decent people at these large companies, the instilled economic imperative made any form of connection online "de facto good,” despite the reality that increasing screen time reliably hurts the well-being of users they say they serve.
At Telos, it is our core belief that omnipresent self-reported regrettable time-on-device ought not to exist at all. Despite being morally superior, we believe this can also even be economically viable so as to enable better products and services to be developed by pioneering startups. Once we make the paradigm shift away from optimising for usage and clicks and instead optimising for individuals and their aspirations, this exciting future will take hold.
We are working in an iterative process. Our first iteration will have a uniquely designed calendar with which you can drag and drop template event activities.
By signing-up you send out a strong signal of support for Telos which will help accelerate development faster.
Despite being Dutch at heart, our focus lies primarily on our target audience within the United States. Telos aims to bring our novel experience to the US and subsequently go international.
Unlike a social networks designed for constant self-comparison and distraction, Telos is building a social framework around self-development and authentic relationships.
Yes. This is going to be a long, gnarly but incredibly meaningful venture and we want to succeed by working with A-players. We do this by crafting a results-only workspace designed not for just anyone. At Telos, those who flourish are those who deeply care about the responsible technology movement. Those who are entrepreneurial and proactive — no committees but a proclivity towards action by talent. Who are full of grit and self-determination. Who want to become masters of their craft and grow into leaders. Who know when to put in the 80-20 Rule and vice versa, when to put in the "110-300 Rule."
All in all, we offer a workplace where the only confrontational conversations come from 'product-obsessed assholes' (see Build by Tony Fadell) where we always do what is best for the company and its mission of setting up the next generation with the world's first 'social framework.'
Seriously, send us your resume — right now!
