About kana

Our Mission

kana exists to create a space where meaningful conversations can flourish. We believe the internet can be better—a place for deep thinking, genuine expertise, and authentic human connection. Our mission is to build a platform that prioritizes substance over virality, quality over quantity, and people over profit.

Our Vision

We envision a digital space where scientists, creators, philosophers, and curious minds from all walks of life can come together to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and learn from one another. A place free from algorithmic manipulation, where content rises based on merit and relevance, not engagement metrics.

Our Values

• Privacy First: Your data belongs to you. We don't sell it, mine it, or use it for advertising. Ever.
• Transparency: No hidden algorithms, no shadow bans, no mysterious content moderation. You always know where you stand.
• Quality Over Growth: We'd rather have thoughtful conversations than viral content. Slow, sustainable growth over hockey-stick metrics.
• Independence: EU-based, independently funded, and committed to staying that way. No Big Tech dependencies.

The Team

kana is built by a small, dedicated team who believe technology should serve humanity, not the other way around. We're researchers, engineers, and designers united by a shared frustration with the current state of social media and a determination to build something better.
