Visibility, control, and a share of the value your data creates.
River is the human layer for the age of machines.
Thirty years of free services. Paid for with your data. The value has multiplied beyond anything imagined. The platforms got rich. You got nothing back.
See all your data, all in one place. Decide who accesses it, on what terms, when that ends.
70% of all data value returned to you. Every transaction. No exceptions.
Your personal AI — connects the dots across your data. Proactive, personal, and actionable.
Every platform on the internet has a file on you. Your interests, your habits, your routines, your relationships. You have never been allowed to see it.
River changes that. Everything you have created is finally yours to see, control, and profit from.
You built this. You should own it.
Until now. River returns 70% of everything your data earns directly to you. Every transaction. No exceptions.
The platforms built their business on what you gave them for free. River gives it back.
70% goes to you. Always.
Not an algorithm chasing your attention. Not ads dressed up as advice.
River's AI works through your data to surface things worth knowing — opportunities you'd have missed, answers you didn't know to ask for, actions that actually help.
A feed that's entirely about you. Proactive, personal, and on your side.
No other platform comes to you like this.
We are at an inflection point. Not the kind that gets announced. The kind that, years later, you can look back at and say: that was the moment everything changed.
AI is becoming the operating system of daily life. Brand agents, autonomous systems, AI assistants, all of them multiplying, all of them running on data. Your data. Extracted, structured, and monetised by platforms that have never once asked your permission or shared the proceeds.
This is not a privacy problem. It is an infrastructure problem. The human layer, the missing piece that makes AI useful to a specific person rather than the statistical average of everyone, does not yet exist. That is what River is building.
A16z fellow Sakina Arsiwala recently wrote that the next billion users will not come to AI because of a better model. They will come because they finally trust it. We agree. The company that builds that trust infrastructure, at the individual level, with consent, with real economic return, will define the next era of the internet.
I started River because I believe we can build something better. Not a protest against technology. Not a rejection of the digital economy. A fundamental improvement to how it works. The technology exists. The team is in place. The market is moving.
We're looking for partners who see what we see.
