Fizz CEO on why anonymous social is winning with Gen Z

Fizz is tapping into a growing sentiment among Gen Z: the desire to escape the pressures of curating perfect lives for platforms like Instagram and TikTok. What began as a response to pandemic-era frustrations with group chats has rapidly evolved into a leading social platform on college campuses across the United States. Fizz focuses on the 99% of life that often goes unseen in highlight reels, offering a refreshing alternative to traditional social media. The app's unique blend of anonymity and hyperlocal connectivity has garnered attention, with CEO Teddy Solomon declaring it "the biggest college social app since Facebook." In a recent discussion with Dominic Madori Davis during this year’s Disrupt event, Solomon elaborated on how social media has drifted away from its original purpose of fostering genuine connections. To dive deeper into Solomon’s insights and learn why he believes the essence of social media has shifted, be sure to tune in to the full episode.
