Founder to Watch: Nelson Kafati

Nelson didn't set out to build another social app — he set out to feel better. After the pandemic pushed him toward running, therapy, and mindfulness, he noticed how draining traditional social media had become. So he built SpreadIt: a social wellness platform that makes social media feel human again.

Bootstrapped under $30K with a single developer, SpreadIt's "chain posts" let people co-create moments together — think weddings living in one collaborative narrative instead of scattered WhatsApp threads. Today: 1,800+ users, 3,000+ posts, and early traction that proves community still wins. Learn more.
