What would a social network look like if it was built on trust rather than algorithms and why does it matter today?

In our latest Startup Corner Podcast episode, Christos Floros, founder of Monnett, shares his vision of building a new kind of social platform from Europe. At a time when digital platforms play a central role in how we access information and connect with others, this conversation raises important questions around influence, control, and trust.

During the episode, Christos explains the ambition behind Monnett: creating a social network rooted in real connections, starting from existing friend groups, and prioritising trust as a core principle. He also reflects on the broader European context, and why developing alternative platforms locally could play a key role in shaping future digital ecosystems.

Beyond the product, the discussion touches on the realities of building a startup from Luxembourg, and how smaller ecosystems can offer strong foundations to grow internationally.

This episode offers valuable perspectives for founders, innovators, and anyone interested in the future of social platforms and Europe’s role in the digital space.
