Sachin Monga is the co-founder and CEO of Cocoon, an app that provides a secure and private space to keep up with your closest friends and family members. Before co-founding Cocoon, Sachin worked at Facebook for seven years, holding various positions. Now, his goal is to bring new technology into the world that augments natural social behavior and makes us better humans.
In our modern world, even the closest of friends and family members often live in different locations around the globe. And despite advancements in technology, it can be a real challenge to stay connected in a personal and private way. With occasional phone or video calls, texts, and posts on oversaturated social networks, there is still a lack of a digital safe space to call your own.Â
However, Sachin Monga is trying to change all that. After working at Facebook for seven years, Sachin realized that he didn’t have an intimate digital space to connect with his family, who lived far away. This led him to co-found Cocoon, a private social “space†that brings close friends and family members under one digital roof, no matter where in the world they currently live.Â
