What they do
Problem
People's online identities and content are fragmented and controlled by centralized social networks rather than their own websites, limiting ownership and traffic.
Solution
Deluux provides a service that centers identity on a user's own website and distributes personalized content across the web to drive traffic back to those sites.
Who it's for
Website owners and individual creators who want to control their online identity and distribute content outside of major social networks.
