Our Story

From a simple idea to a movement, how Looma began and where we're headed.

Looma was born from a simple belief: social media should bring people together, not pull them apart, flood them with ads, or profit at the cost of community.

Like many others, I watched as the social platforms we once loved became overrun by engagement algorithms, misinformation, and monetization strategies that rewarded outrage over authenticity. The deeper I looked, the more I realized: the system was built to extract value from users, not return it.

That’s when I made a decision, if I had the skills to build something meaningful, why not create a space that puts people first? Not for fame. Not for fortune. But simply because I didn’t need more than I already had, and I knew others could benefit.

Looma is that space. A platform where moments are shared without pressure. Where communities thrive without noise. Where your voice matters more than your follower count. Every featur, from community hubs to collaborative events, was designed with purpose and simplicity, not profit.

Instead of extracting value, Looma gives it back, supporting nonprofits, amplifying grassroots movements, and offering tools to schools, clubs, and local heroes doing good work. Revenue from Looma goes right back into helping the people who use it. No bloated margins. No hidden agendas. Just social networking with a conscience.

This isn’t just another app. It’s a reminder of what social media was meant to be. Thanks for being part of the story.

A Note from the Founder

I didn’t build Looma to get rich. I built it because I didn’t need more, and I knew this kind of platform could give more.

This isn't a tech startup chasing a buyout. It’s a mission to restore integrity, purpose, and generosity to the way we connect online.

If Looma can help someone feel seen, supported, or inspired, even just once, then it’s doing exactly what it was meant to do.
