About

Series is an AI-powered social networking platform that operates through iMessage, founded in 2024 by Yale undergraduates Nathaneo Johnson (CEO) and Sean Hargrow 1. Users text a phone number to describe who they are and whom they want to connect with; the AI responds with carousels of profiles and requests, allowing users to initiate private conversations without sharing personal phone numbers 1. The platform has gained traction across 750+ college campuses with a focus on Gen Z professional and personal connections 1.
