Big Whale Labs

Big Whale Labs is dedicated to building a pseudonymous world where privacy and identity are owned by the human, not the corporation. Big Whale Labs is a web 3 social startup with the mission to enhance human-to-human connection online to make social more safe, fun, secure, and free. We’re based in Vancouver, BC, and are founded by Jason and Nikita who were college floormates nearly a decade ago, working on iOS apps together when they were teenagers. Nikita is Telegram’s most successful third-party app developer. He’s scaled his apps to over 60 million aggregate users globally, most recently exiting Shieldy Telegram Bot to 1Inch Defi Networks after scaling to 20 million users. Jason started his foray into tech running a gaming community forum at age 13. He sold custom forum banners and display pics that were NFTs before NFTs. Most recently he was the Co-founder and Head of Product for a YC and Venture-backed developer tool startup.
