Locket

Locket is a fast-growing social media platform designed to enhance authentic connections with close friends and family. Since its launch in 2022, Locket has attracted tens of millions of active users, particularly among Gen Z, and is one of the fastest-growing apps globally. The platform uniquely allows users to share live photos directly to their friends’ home screens via a widget, fostering real-time updates and meaningful interactions. Locket emphasizes privacy and closeness by limiting the number of friends (to 20) and avoiding impersonal content. Locket reached profitability in 2024 and has raised $12.5M in funding. The company is based in San Francisco but operates in a remote-friendly environment for team members within +/- 3 hours of PST. The app has won several awards for cultural impact and innovation in social technology.
