Meet the Stitch Social Team
Meet the visionary founders and advisors behind Stitch Social—a next-generation platform built for safety, authenticity, and genuine human connection. Our team combines deep technical expertise with a passion for creating digital spaces where families and communities can thrive.
Our Mission & Vision
Changing the fabric of humankind, one stitch at a time.
At Stitch Social, our mission is to create a safer, more authentic social media experience—one that empowers creators, protects users, and brings real excitement back to connecting online. We're building a platform where positivity, support, and genuine engagement replace toxic algorithms and empty validation. Stitch Social is where you can be yourself, discover community, and help shape the next era of digital connection.
About Us
Stitch Social was founded out of a simple but powerful belief: social media should lift you up, not wear you down.
Led by James Fortune, a gamer, artist, and father who wanted better for his family and community, our team is obsessed with building tools that put people first. We ditched likes and comments in favor of a momentum system driven by hype, support, and time spent—not negativity. With a background in design, business, and tech, we're committed to continuous innovation, robust safety, and a platform where creators and fans both win.
We're not just another app—we're a movement for a healthier, more rewarding digital world. Our team brings together expertise in tech, capital markets, and community building, united by a passion for transparency, kindness, and excellence.
Join us as we redefine what social media can be. Let's build something better, together.

American Pioneer
Gamer. Libre. Artist. Father. James built Stitch Social because he was tired of social media that felt toxic, unsafe, and disconnected from real human values.
As a father who cares deeply about what his daughter sees online and a husband who wanted a platform he could open anywhere without worry, James brings a uniquely personal perspective to social media innovation.
With his background in Arts & Science and Human Resources, he's obsessed with building technology that puts people first. Stitch Social represents his answer to the current social media landscape: safe, hype-driven, and built specifically for the next generation of digital natives.
