Vision

Building the next generation of social interfaces, starting with an alternative to the feed.

  1. 01Problem

    The feed decides what you see.

    Algorithmic feeds rank everything for engagement. You scroll, they choose, and many people are tired of what it does to attention and conversation.

  2. 02Thesis

    What if you could see the whole conversation?

    A living map instead of a feed. AI organizes posts by topic and perspective; you explore, compare viewpoints and choose your own path.

  3. 03Proof

    Grounded in research. Already in motion.

    Rhizome began as thesis research at Keio University’s Graduate School of Media Design, and first prototypes are already built and tested.

  4. 04Direction

    From research to something people choose.

    Next: getting the live, AI-driven version into people’s hands, starting at KMD Forum. Then a product for anyone ready for something better.

  5. 05Ask

    Help build the alternative.

    Pre-seed, and opening conversations with early partners and investors.
