// The problem

Big creator platforms
weren't built for you.
Small businesses deserve

May, 2026

Woonz is a very early initiative from the team behind the Friending app — built on everything we learned while creating, launching, and scaling a real social product.

We believe the current influencer marketplace model is ready for disruption. Most platforms are too broad, too expensive, and not built for the local businesses that need authentic content the most.

With Woonz, we are building a hyperlocal creator marketplace where verified creators, small businesses, and real neighborhoods connect directly. The product will also live in symbiosis with Friending through shared systems like Sign in with Friending and a common verification layer.

Built by
The team behind Friending

Because we already have the team, infrastructure, verification logic, and product experience to build this, we decided to move fast and open the door to early investors while the idea is still young.

If this feels interesting, we would love to hear from you.
