Socialize is a platform, launched in 2021, built to connect, educate, and inspire older adults of all skill levels to create and share original content on social media. The product offers free Creator Profiles, an online community of video tutorials and articles, and a curated group called Socialize's Creators to provide instruction and inspiration. The company was co-created by Alive Ventures, a Los Angeles–based venture studio, and social media entrepreneur Helen Polise, whose TikTok following exceeds 569,000. Socialize’s mission is to democratize social media and increase the visibility of confident, joyful older figures—including those beyond age 65—across platforms like Facebook, TikTok, and Instagram. The platform emphasizes clear, inclusive, and encouraging teaching styles to build creators’ confidence and skills. Financially, Socialize announced it closed a $250,000 pre-seed funding round in March 2022.
