I’m so excited for the progress we’ve made this year and that y’all could be around for our humble beginnings. Thanks for reading and can’t wait for the next few months to share more with you!

Why did they pick Ephemeral?
I think they wrote it best in their letter of interest:
Ephemeral’s origin story really resonated with us. You’re
not rejecting technology — you’re interrogating its
incentives. In a landscape shaped by engagement metrics,
extraction, and scale-at-all-costs thinking, Ephemeral
proposes something rarer and far more difficult: a
social product designed to feel complete, humane, and
finite. That conviction deserves an identity that is
equally principled — one that resists spectacle, avoids
manipulation, and communicates clarity of intent from the
first interaction.stay tuned for more… :)
OUR FIRST APP RELEASE
EVENTS BY EPHEMERAL LAUNCHED 🎉
I’m so excited to announce Events by Ephemeral.
If you weren’t already aware, Partiful (the most popluar “free” app for events) was founded by ex-Palantir employeers and has has many as 6 Palantir employees on their core team. Palantir is the company that builds massive data mining and surveillance tools for the U.S government (including ICE).
I don’t know about you, but I don’t think the government needs to know where I’m going and when, and who I’m with. So first we’re launching Events.
Here’s why you should use Events by Ephemeral:
Data deletes permanently - 7 days after an event ends
Ticketing is built in - with no fees for first 50 tickets sold
Multiple aesthetics - instead Partiful’s single, obnoxious style
Full control over encrypted social graph - data about who you go to events with is used to allow you to easily invite them next time you host an event- but it’s fully encrypted, only your device can decrypt it, and you can manage every connect or delete them all at any point.
START USING IT TODAY!
The best thing you could do to support us is to start hosting your events on ephemeral. Free, ticketed, whatever you need- it’s ready to go! 😀
Thanks for reading and supporting the journey. Keep posted, spread the word, and stay tuned!
Until next time,
Mansoor S.
