Saguaro started with a simple question: what would a social network look like if it was designed for the user, not the advertiser?
Our story
Saguaro was founded in 2022 by a small team of engineers, designers and community managers who were tired of social media that made them feel worse. The insight was simple: the ad-funded model incentivizes the wrong things. A platform funded by its users can be built for its users.
Today Saguaro has over 2 million active members across 84,000 communities. We're profitable on a freemium model -- no ads, no data sales, no compromises.
What we stand for
We measure success by the quality of connections made, not the number of minutes you spend on our platform.
We build privacy into every feature from the first line of code. It's not a compliance checkbox -- it's how we think.
We say what Saguaro can and can't do. No growth-hacking, no manufactured virality, no dark patterns.
We optimize for your wellbeing. That means features that let you set limits, take breaks, and disconnect on your terms.
