Diem is building a social search engine, powered by an incentivized community. Our mission is to close the gender information gap by developing an alternative to the current Google search experience.

Diem is backed by leading investors such as Stellation, Acrew, Flyrbidge, Techstars and XFactor Ventures. Our investors share our belief that in a world where large social platforms are disorganized and lack protections for women, it is critical for people to be able to search information in a safer, more credible way.
