European social media startup eYou has secured €300,000 in pre-seed funding. The platform, developed in Bucharest, aims to create an alternative to X and Facebook with integrated AI fact-checking and transparent algorithms — its public launch is planned for May 2026. eYou was founded by French serial entrepreneurs Jasseem Allybokus (CEO) and Grégoire Vigroux (CCO), who have been living in Romania for over a decade. The investor is Croatian venture capital fund Fil Rouge Capital.

The core feature: users can request a fact-check on any post with a single click — an AI-generated assessment based on neutral sources that summarises the accuracy of statements. In addition, eYou offers a transparency feature that allows users to view and adjust the profile the algorithm builds about them.

      Can you really fix social issues with technology?

      No, you can’t imo so I fully share you scepticism. As I said in my other comment, it may help by providing some sources, but it’s not the solution itself imo.
