First-Ever Invite-Only Social Platform Founded by Black Women Is Being Built and a Global Superstar May Be the First Inside

Byio is being designed for the Black community and beyond, welcoming allies and supporters worldwide, to flip social media by giving users control of who gets on and who stays on the platform.

DETROIT, Sept. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Social media is being redefined. Byio- short for By Invite Only, is the first-ever SaaS, AI-forward social platform founded and owned by Black women, and it is being built to make history.

Never before has a platform of this scale been created by Black Women who have lived the very experiences they are building against: discrimination, censorship, stolen content, and unfair earnings. Designed for the Black community first and extending to allies and supporters worldwide, Byio is redefining what it means to belong online.

The buzz is already growing. Rumors suggest a global superstar from the Caribbean may be among the very first celebrity invites, with speculation of an exclusive music debut planned for the platform.

Global Buzz Before Launch
When Byio's build was announced on September 1, it generated over 1 million views in just 48 hours [https://www.instagram.com/reel/DOC6KQljG5T/?igsh=MTlwaGhhNjR4aHM5Yg==].

The launch message sparked immediate action. Supporters around the world rushed to "lock in" by purchasing physical Byio stickers, visible symbols of solidarity with the platform's mission. Each sticker is the real-world version of the digital badges that will later exist inside the app. Stickers also unlock perks in Byio's Discord, including access to an exclusive supporters' channel, but do not guarantee entry to the platform itself.

True access will begin with the TG10s — the Global Ten Thousand. In its first 24 hours, more than 1,000 people joined Byio's Discord, the only place where TG10 members will be selected. Whether or not someone locks in with a sticker, they must be in the Discord to be considered. Once chosen, the TG10s will control the next wave of invitations and shape how Byio grows from there.

What Byio Will Offer
When it launches, Byio will:

• Operate as 100% invite-only, with the community deciding who gets on and who stays on.
• Be creator-first, offering the highest earning potential of any platform.
• Launch with full features: live streaming, video sharing, gifting, subscriptions, and e-commerce.
• Provide never seen, patent-pending features and processes.
