Together with people.io — part one
We never shut up about our goal to give people ownership and control of their data. But this isn’t just our mission — it’s yours as well!
Read moreIn 2015 we began with a vision to give people ownership of their data. Unfortunately by 2019 our journey came to an end and while our shared vision lives on in the efforts of other incredible startups like CitizenMe, Digi.me and more recently, Gener8; people.io has now closed down.
Visit the About and Press & Media pages to read more about how how people.io built a #1 trending app, scaled to more than 150,000 users and got backing from some of Europe's most respected investors; or learn about the founder's journey and the lessons learned along the way.
If you're an organisation or government that's exploring the personal data ecosystem and would like to connect with Nicholas, the founder of people.io, you can reach out directly or on LinkedIn.
While people.io may be no more, the person behind it hasn't given up. FORTYEIGHT is a new venture that explores the intersection of artificial intelligence, human rights and consent.
Helping organisations and governments to inform people each time they've been observed by AI, facial recognition and other types of technological surveillance to help protect the human rights of our AI generation.
Thank you to all those who supported our vision. I've learned the hard way that startups fail, however hard you try to make them work. What I now realise is that resillience, belief and timing are what really count in the long game.
The future is coming, perhaps just a few years later than we expected!
Nicholas Oliver, Founder of people.io
