Pepul, a privacy-focused social network, raised $1.35 million in its seed round from Hourglass Venture Partners, Girish Mathrubootham, and Vijay Shekhar Sharma.
Founded in 2020 by Suresh Kumar G, the Chennai-based startup aims to provide a positive social network and restrict “anonymous users and negative content” in the platform.
The startup expects to use the funds to build the platform's infrastructure, team expansion, and user acquisition.
