The internet was built to connect people. But somewhere along the way, it started doing the opposite.
That was the central tension at the heart of Pay Attention Live: Building the Human Internet, a webinar series co-hosted by Tech Funding News and the global work payments platform Native Teams. The first session, a Women in Tech edition, brought together three speakers to examine how AI, remote work, and shifting user behaviour are reshaping the way people connect, collaborate, and build online.
The panel featured Alyx van der Vorm, founder and CEO of social discovery app Clyx; Aleksandra Mitrevska, co-founder and CXO of Native Teams; and Akansha Dimri, editor-in-chief and founder of Tech Funding News. The session was moderated by Native Teams’ head of brand marketing, Sonia Shapiro.
‘We built the fastest loneliness machine in history’
Dimri opened with a line that set the tone for everything that followed. “We built the fastest and most scalable loneliness machine in history, and now we’re trying to fix it.”
