People keep asking me what LENDZ is, and I keep giving the technical answer.
Invite-only social platform.
Algorithm-free.
Content surfaces galore.
End-to-end encrypted DMs.
Stripe Connect for creator payouts.
The answer is true and yet it explains nothing.
The technical answer is the floor plan.
It doesn't tell you what the room feels like, or why it feels that way, or what I was actually building when I sat down to build it.
The real answer is that I spent twenty-five years running nightclubs and events before I wrote a single line of code, and I spent those same twenty-five years writing screenplays and stage plays with my father Richard and my collaborator Damion.
LENDZ isn't a tech product that happens to have good taste.
LENDZ is a venue, written like a script, deployed as software.
Once you see that, the whole platform makes sense in a way it doesn't…
LENDZ
