About Us

Fountous LLC was formed in 2018 in New York State for the purpose of providing a social networking platform that would bring out the best in people and serve as an effective resource for individuals looking to improve their lives and help others do the same.

There is arguably nothing more advantageous and empowering than the right kind of access to the right people. It can be difficult, however, for those seeking to connect with other minds in a productive manner to find an adequate avenue for doing so or to even determine what particular individuals may be able and inclined to benefit them in what particular ways. The shortcuts that are often used in making that assessment can be far from effective.

And even when people are simply looking to share their thoughts on fun topics or have friendly exchanges in the digital sphere, they commonly encounter unpleasant experiences along the way.

The aim of Fountous LLC is to foster interactions in which people from all backgrounds focus on their similarities more than their differences while aspiring to be of help to one another or to at least have positive, enjoyable conversations. Years of thought went into creating a platform whose algorithms and structure would maximize the likelihood that dialogue between users would, more often than not, be fruitful, meaningful, and congenial.

The name Fountous came about by combining the words fountain and famous. Both words have connotations that relate to what Fountous LLC seeks to provide. 

Historically, fountains have often been associated with, and designed as key elements of, public gathering places. Symbolically, they represent a source of something sustaining or highly valued. Fountous LLC aims to bring people together in a space where they can gain from and contribute to a flow of knowledge, insights, positive energy, life-enhancing perspectives, and human connection. 

The word famous has historically had very positive connotations as well and is often associated with ambition and, of course, notable accomplishment. While not everyone wants to be famous, and there are certainly downsides to celebrityhood, nearly everyone wants to experience at least some of the perceived benefits of fame such as being valued, being respected, having an abundance of possibilities, and being treated as someone who is important and worth listening to. 

At Fountous, we not only want to facilitate interactions in which people help each other achieve goals and expand their frontiers of possibility, but to ensure as best we can that, in the process, people look for the good in each other, assume the best about each other, and treat each other as well as they would if they were talking to renowned individuals whom they admire . . . which for all they know, they might be!

Many years went into developing and refining the idea for, as well as building, the application that is now called Both Wise so as to ensure the likelihood that it would have a positive impact. The values that are embodied in our creation, such as treating all people with dignity, respect and good will, are ones that we bring to our business practices and inform how we treat those who use our platform and those we hire or otherwise have dealings with.
