The Picture Party platform addresses the unmet need for private social networking that allows a user to almost instantly create a private social feed for sharing posts, pictures and videos. The patented technology enables users to capture and share many different perspectives and photos of events such as weddings and conferences where everyone can be a photographer, while providing a private and secure social network free from algorithms and AI.
“The Company has reached a very important inflection point with the launch of our new affiliate program, which marks the first of many new marketing and monetization initiatives positioned to help us reach our goal of millions of users this year,” said Darin Myman, CEO of Myseum. “Now that primary development is complete, we can focus on growing the business by leveraging a large performance-based sales force to demonstrate how important the Picture Party platform is for users’ privacy and its benefits as an easier way to share and preserve social connections in the age of AI.”
