Founders
Relay was born from a simple question: why isn't social media more honest? Scott and Rex have been close friends since high school. When Scott brought the idea to Rex, they shaped it into a vision together - a social platform with honesty at its center, where your relationships are visible and real, not algorithmically obscured.
Scott designs. Rex builds. But the product and the vision are created together, debated, refined, and molded through a partnership built on years of trust. Underneath it all is a shared belief: their generation needs to do better at staying connected in the real world.
Our Vision
Relay exists to get people off their phones and into the same room as their friends.
Social media is built to keep you scrolling. Relay is built to get you out. Open the app, make a plan, close the app, go and see your friends.
We measure success by the time you spend with the people you care about - not the time you spend with us.
Does it get people together in real life?
If a feature doesn't end with someone seeing a friend, it doesn't ship.
Does it respect your time?
The feed runs out on purpose. There's no algorithm and no reason to keep scrolling.
Is it honest?
No ads, ever. No selling data. When our copy and our code disagree, we change the copy.
Relay: Less scrolling. More friends.
