George Wright III interviews Braeden and Madison Furgeson, husband-and-wife founders of Venn Social, a bootstrapped, self-funded social platform designed around connection instead of attention. The idea began as an infertility support app after Madison struggled through years of infertility and miscarriages and found meaningful help only when matched with someone in the same stage, highlighting that topic-based groups lump very different situations together. They broadened the concept into a community platform for anyone seeking real connection. Venn Social features “circles” that use filtering questions to place users into sub-circles with people who answered similarly, a discover feed that prioritizes followed accounts and circles, and a transparent algorithm users can view. Culture is enforced through the Venn Code and an Aura score system that rewards good behavior and restricts trolls. They share a vision to replace toxic social media and help address loneliness.

Guest Bio
Braeden and Madison Furgeson are the co-founders of Venn, a new social platform they built together to create a more meaningful way for people to connect online. Designed as the first troll-free, connection-based social network with a transparent algorithm, Venn helps users build authentic relationships by matching them into small communities of people experiencing similar life situations. Their mission is to serve those who are tired of traditional social media platforms that capture attention but often provide little value and leave users feeling more isolated. Entirely self-funded and built without outside investors, Braeden and Madison have personally invested everything into bringing Venn to life, driven by a belief that social media should strengthen human connection rather than diminish it.
