About YouTopia

Youtopia is the worlds 1st Human Interspace. Explained in 3 pillars:

1- Discovery

• An innovative navigation system that turns the whole internet into a digital city.
• The digital city orients around your behavior to connect you to people and experiences you will enjoy.

2- Creation

• Free no-code and low code creation tools to allow everyone to become a creator.
• Co-Creation tools that allow communities to make content together.

3- Social

About the team

• We are a team of 6 devs from various countries working remotely.
• We are a tight knit group. Some of us go back over 10+ years.
• We value honest feedback, being mission driven and pursuing hard challenges.
• We believe in giving you the agency and creative freedom to bring your best work forward.

Opportunity

• We have been approached by various investors and rejected their offers to preserve team equity and maintain a great work culture.

• Closest product competitors would be Meta, X, Roblox, Google chrome and Steam for discovery platforms, social media platforms and Creation platforms.

• We are a team that actually ships. We have launched an MMO game for alpha release prior and we built relationships with youtubers from Minecraft, MMO and Roblox communities (totaling millions of followers). We currently have a community of Alpha backers and playtesters.

• We are receiving council from our private network of investors and founders for our funding and go-to-market strategy.

• Pre-funding developers will receive equity working part time. After funding, developers will initially earn 45k-120k salaries full time. This is your chance to get meaningful equity before salary dispersments when we secure funding.
