Who Built Maeve Social?
Brie and Jared, two founders who run their own businesses and built Maeve Social as the internal tool they wished existed, then turned it into a product. They still use it every morning for their own brands.
About Maeve
A Word From The Founders.
Why does every social management tool suck? Because they're designed by committee and built by people who run them as a business, not people who actually need the tool. So yeah, we built a better one.

The Origin Story
It's personal for us, and that's really the whole reason this exists. We have businesses of our own, and they don't just need social media to happen, they need it to drive sales, build a brand, and teach us something every week about what's working and what isn't. So when we sat down to build Maeve Social, the bar was never just “did the post go out,” it was always “did this actually help the business grow.”
And the more we thought about it, the more obvious it got that in the next ten years the only brands that win are going to be the ones that are either founder-led or so unmistakable that people remember them without even thinking, and everything in between just gets scrolled past. So we are building this for that kind of brand, ours included, and yours if that's where you're heading.
We also care a stupid amount about how things look and feel, probably because we are gamers at heart, so every screen has to be beautiful and every interaction has to feel right or it doesn't ship. It's the only way we know how to build, and it's also why Maeve Social is a proper workspace where the post and the result live next to each other and the whole thing actually feels like one product instead of six.
“We will build the best social media platform in the world, because WE need it to.”
This is built by me and Brie, who have been partners for over thirteen years, and now this is the thing we are building together every single day. There is no board, no investors, no committee deciding what ships next, just the two of us using this tool every morning the same way you do, which is exactly why it will only ever get better, because our businesses depend on it and because we genuinely love the thing we are making.
Why Teams Switch To Maeve
The five things we refused to compromise on, because we are the first users.
The Whole Thing Actually Fits TogetherMost platforms are five products glued at the seams, and you feel it every time you tab over to find an asset, copy a caption, or chase a number that lives in a different screen. Maeve was built as one piece from day one, so your media library, calendar, planner, inbox, and analytics all know about each other, and you stop losing your train of thought halfway through a Monday morning.
Your Clients Can Approve Without Making An AccountWe built a proper review portal that sends your client a link, shows them the post the way it will actually appear once it goes live, and lets them approve or push back without ever making them sign up for anything or learn another tool, so the back-and-forth that used to eat half your week now happens in the same place you were already working.
Every Platform, Every Quirk, One ComposerEach of the eight platforms gets built for the way it actually wants to be posted, so you can crop differently for Instagram and TikTok without losing your original, write the first comment before you publish, thread up to twenty messages on X and Threads, schedule Reels, Stories, and Shorts, pick the right Pinterest board, and tag products, all from the same composer without ever leaving it.
Plan It On A Calendar, Or Run It Like A BoardSome people think in dates and some people think in stages, and most tools make you pick a side, so we built both, which means you can drag a post around the calendar one minute and flip into the workbench the next to move it through Draft, In Review, Scheduled, and Sent the same way you would on any project board, and the content underneath does not care which view you are using.
Good-Looking Enough That You Actually Want To Open ItThere is a particular kind of dread that comes with opening a tool that looks like it was designed in 2013 and has a Save button hidden in a kebab menu, and we just refuse to ship that, so every screen in Maeve gets the same kind of care a good game studio puts into its menus, which is why finding what you need feels obvious instead of effortful and the product mostly gets out of your way and lets you do the work.
Brie And Jared, Co-Founders
We both run our own companies, and Maeve Social started as the internal tool we wished existed for ourselves, then somewhere along the way it got good enough that it felt worth sharing with everyone else. We are not venture-backed, we do not answer to a board, and there is no committee deciding what ships next, the only people we answer to are the ones who open the app every morning, which still happens to include us.
100% bootstrapped. Founded 2026. Two people, every day.

About Maeve Social FAQ
Is Maeve Social Venture-Backed?
No. Maeve Social is 100% bootstrapped and independent. There is no board, no investors, and no committee deciding what ships next.
When Was Maeve Social Founded?
2026. It started as an internal tool for the founders' own businesses and became a product once it got good enough to share.
Why Was Maeve Social Built?
Because the founders' own businesses needed social media to drive sales, build a brand, and teach them something every week, and the existing tools felt like six products glued together. The bar was never just whether the post went out, it was whether the work helped the business grow.
