a company that wants social to feel good again.

maru social co. is building a consumer social product based in New York City. we started with a simple frustration: social media stopped feeling social. somewhere along the way it became a performance for strangers instead of a way to be close to friends.

so we're building the opposite. maru is offline-first — designed to get you off the feed and back into real life, documenting the good moments with your people, not for an audience.

we're a small team, born in korea and made with <3 in new york. if any of this resonates — whether you want to use maru, work on it, or just trade notes — we'd love to talk.
