Reclaiming Digital Spaces for Creators, Communities, and Culture
It all started with one man and one bold idea, born from lived experiences, leveraging community, learning from mentors from all walks of life, and navigating the highs and lows of democratizing access to digital opportunity.
Before founding AllPeeP, D’Angelo Senat was building an online influencer marketplace to help businesses monetize their communities. But after witnessing how algorithms, surveillance, and profit-driven models disconnected people from real connection, he pivoted. What he envisioned next was something bigger—something more human.
In 2021, D’Angelo launched AllPeeP with a powerful mission:
To help brands, creators, and everyday people reclaim ownership of their digital spaces, build meaningful relationships, and stay connected—free from traditional third-party platforms.
He recognized a shift in social media: from people-first interaction to algorithm-controlled performance. Visibility became pay-to-play. Authenticity was replaced by popularity. Stories were censored. And genuine human connection? It was dimming.
So he set out to build a platform that gave that power back.
Tech with Intention, Built for People
AllPeeP is dedicated to empowering nonprofits, startups, and enterprises through a private online platform; free from social media surveillance and proprietary platform limitations.
In the earliest stages, D’Angelo was introduced to Ben Wen by Merline Saintil, one of AllPeeP’s earliest board members and key early-stage investors. Ben had been advising D’Angelo on the foundational strategy for AllPeeP. When the need for a technical co-founder became clear, Ben connected him to Christoph Witzany, who was already gaining traction with an open-source Clubhouse clone he had built with his friends.
Christoph and D’Angelo embarked on a six-month vetting process to assess their compatibility as co-founders, pitching investors and interviewing prospect customers on zoom. The final test? An escape room in Tampa Bay, Florida. Christoph flew in from Berlin, and D’Angelo drove down from Orlando. The mission: break out of jail together. They didn’t make it out in time, but through the chaos, they discovered alignment in grit, problem-solving, and vision. That day, they decided to build AllPeeP full-time together.
Founded by D’Angelo Senat and co-founded by Christoph Witzany in 2022, AllPeeP announced a pivotal move from building communities on Mastodon to the AllPeeP open-source ecosystem, driven by the need to overcome limitations in customization.
Currently, AllPeeP serves customers across diverse industries including nonprofits, well-being, sports analytics, marginalized communities, and health-tech. The team is committed to becoming industry-agnostic, exemplifying our vision to foster inclusive and diverse communities across various sectors.
In April of 2022, the AllPeeP founding team made the significant leap to full-time dedication, marking a milestone in the journey. The MVP 1 was launched on Mastodon. In 2023, Anca joined as AllPeeP Head of Product, spearheading our product development to ensure alignment with customer needs and maintaining a competitive edge. Additionally, the team expanded globally, from the States to Europe and Africa, with customers currently in the States and in Europe. The team is poised to continue to growth trajectory, driven by unwavering commitment to empowering communities through innovative and accessible technology solutions.
From the start, AllPeeP was designed to put real connections first, a customizable embeddable social platform that allows for people to build their own community with their own values. Whether it’s an already existing website or app, AllPeeP is ready to cater to your preferences, the platform puts the power back where it belongs, with the people.
That means no middleman. No gatekeeping. No algorithm trickery. Just you and your people.
What was once a dream is now an ambitious idea, quickly transformed into a movement. One embraced by startups, nonprofits, tech innovators, and mission-driven brands who were tired of playing by someone else’s rules. They came to AllPeeP looking for more authenticity, ownership, and freedom and stayed for the culture.
The AllPeeP you know today
Honestly? It’s growing, but the heart is still the same.
The platform has evolved, introducing innovative features that center real connection. One standout is the calling platform known as “Jams,” designed for authentic, in-the-moment conversations. Alongside it, the social layer allows users to share updates, reflections, and projects directly with their communities. It’s a thoughtful blend of a social media platform and a communication hub, but built with intention and ownership at its core.
Some key features that set AllPeeP apart:
– Jams, audio rooms – encouraging richer, more human conversations – Integration – AllPeeP can be used as a conversation feature in your application – Branded community – make your community look like your own, on the web and on your phone
And let’s talk about something the team is incredibly proud of: Back in 2022, AllPeeP won the Black Ambition Prize. That moment marked a turning point national recognition, support from Pharrell Williams’ team, and a validation of the mission we’ve been building from day one.
Now, the team come full circle. Today, AllPeeP is hosting the newest Black Ambition cohort—and it’s nothing short of an honor. To be in a position to uplift and amplify the next generation of visionary talent is a privilege AllPeeP doesn’t take lightly. The team is energized, humbled, and ready to serve.
Because at AllPeeP, it was never just about tech. It was always about people. Still is.
and here is a picture of the heart of the team.
