About Us

ORIGINS

Cancel Algos. Power to the People.

We live in an Age of Populism, and our digital mediums should reflect this. Goatlist™ cuts through the noise and brings the power of the internet back to where it was originally intended: with the People.

Your data, not ours.

Goatlist™ is open and transparent about the way your data is used. We do not collect any personal data beyond what is posted to Goatlist™, we do not track location, nor use your data to target, manipulate or otherwise "nudge" you.

HOW IT STARTED: Get canned, ride your bike

Founders Eric and Gregg conceived Goatlist™ in 2017 after several years of discussion about the pros and cons of social media. They envisioned a better way for users to connect and share ideas without the "externalities" associated with the Social 1.0 era. So Goatlist™ was conceived, but their idea remained stuck in the ether, as they had never learned to code. Then in 2019, Eric was "made redundant" from a near 20 year Wall Street career and soon found himself embarking on a 4,000 mile cross-country cycling trip to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis research. Along that journey he met the speedier and much younger founder Adam who, as fortune would have it, had learned to code.

Do the Right Thing.

Transparency

Fully open data transparency. Your data is yours. We do not manipulate, influence, or "nudge" our users.

Trust

We strive for open dialogue with our users.

Direct Democracy

By crowdsourcing opinion, users get a genuine consensus from their peers. We are no longer reliant on central media "vetting" of information.

Balance

First there was Fast Food. Then there was Slow Food. First there was Social Media. Now, Goatlist™ aims to be the first "slow-cial" media platform to encourage moderate usage and better mental health for our users.

Discovery

Recommendations come directly from trusted and like-minded individuals, eg. your "Tribe".

Sharing is Caring

1% for the Planet": Goatlist will direct 1% of revenue to a portfolio of charities. Users can select the charity of their choice to support from the portfolio.
