At Scout, we build products that connect people through content. That may sound vague, but intentionally so. We're a bit unique in that we don't just build one product, we're building as many products as it takes to achieve our mission.
Our approach to building products is predicated on one core belief: customers don't care what you think they should want — they want what they want. Experimenting with multiple products is our way of discovering the intersection of what people want and bringing people closer together through content.
We don't claim this is the only way to build something meaningful, but it's our way. If you like building and shipping cool products, this may be a great place for you.
We've never generated more content... Every minute:
30 songs to its library.500 hours of video uploaded.300,000 stories.Every minute... 🤯 As barriers to create content continue to fall, the amount of content we create will only continue to skyrocket.
Yet we feel more lonely that ever. 61% of young adults in the US report feeling lonely "often" or "nearly all the time."
We believe modern content is a powerful way to bring people together. Think of the last time you bonded with a friend over a meme, TikTok, or song. Since moving to California 5 years ago, I've mostly kept in touch with friends by sending memes. We think of today's content as a shared language and are building products that utilize that language in unique ways.
