In a remarkable achievement, the social network eYou has surpassed 100,000 users just eight weeks after its public launch. Founded by Gregoire Vigroux and Jasseem Allybokus, this platform is gaining traction as it offers a unique social media experience that stands apart from traditional scrolling feeds.

With a significant financial boost of 1.3 million EUR, over half of which was secured by eYou itself, the platform is poised for rapid expansion across Europe. Romania, Germany, and France are identified as priority markets for this innovative network.

The recent introduction of video functionality marks a new growth phase for eYou, enhancing user engagement. Each video published is automatically processed through an AI-based verification system, ensuring the integrity of the content. Additionally, videos are transcribed to improve accessibility for all users.

Users of eYou enjoy full control over their experience, allowing them to choose the content they want to see, a feature that sets eYou apart. The platform's growth has been purely organic, relying solely on user recommendations, without any investment in marketing.

Currently available on both iOS and Android, eYou sees users accessing the platform an average of 7.7 times a day, spending a total of 45 minutes daily. With a retention rate of 43%, eYou aims to reach one million users within the next twelve months, indicating a strong commitment to its community-driven vision.
