About Persona

Persona is a private social network built for communities. We make it easy to spin up group chats that are backed by a lightweight DAO with communal treasuries and governance. Our mission is to empower communities to launch, scale and share wealth together as they grow. Check out our 2 min pitch video to learn more: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-D0vr0r2PoU>

What’s to love about Persona

• We’re a group of artists who started out trying to solve the problem of why it’s so hard to make art and realized along the way there was a much larger problem we could solve. If you’re creative, we’re very understanding about the need to nurture a creative practice alongside work and encourage people to do so.

• Our home is a gorgeous, plant-filled, 4,000 sq. foot space in Dumbo that serves as not only our office but also as a community gathering space and art gallery. We regularly host meetups, cultural events and parties at the intersection of art and tech.

• We’re well-funded!
