Sonder finds the stories that connect us.

We're building the interface for you to author and curate your own story with language models, spinning intimate narratives of the people and memories that have shaped you using citations from your iMessages and photos.

Your story is the personal context that serves as a foundation for a more honest social network. Relationships move at the speed of vulnerability, and language models give us new tools and experiences to open up with each other. With deep nuance, Sonder helps find the stories that connect you with other people, and discover who or what your story may be leading to next.

Sonder is a tight-knit collective of designers, researchers, and engineers who left our jobs and schools to realize a future where the next computing and social platform shift is defined by nuance and authenticity — one where the new media is our own collective stories.

Sonder is building interfaces for human intimacy.


We've raised a few million dollars because very serious investors have cried, laughed, gawked, and shared stories they would have taken to their grave if not for Sonder.


Relationships move at the speed of vulnerability, and we're at a critical point in history to define our relationship with AI and how it will shape love, loneliness, and identity.


We've found our direction in turning personal context into narrative. Where language models help connect the dots in our own stories, and serve as tools to find the stories we have in common with others.


The future of social software won't be built by mercenaries, and we're traversing uncharted territory that demands thoughtful execution and chutzpah. For those who are crazy enough to wade through this messy creative stage from the very start, we'd love to meet you and have you join our founding team.
