Trust and Safety is more than just reacting when things go wrong—it’s about making trust a core part of growth from day one.
At Web Summit, I had the chance to meet many innovative companies working hard to scale their platforms. But one challenge kept coming up: Trust and Safety is often treated as an afterthought, tackled only when incidents arise.
This approach might seem practical early on, but for industries like social networks and marketplaces, where user experience is everything, it can cost more than you think.
Trust and Safety isn’t just about avoiding harm; it’s about building an environment where users feel secure, engaged, and ready to return.
That's why it was so inspiring to meet the Bloop team. They've created a social shopping platform where authenticity and safety are key pillars of their growth strategy. Their CEO, Francisco Rodrigues, shared how they’ve been pitching Checkstep to other companies at Web Summit, emphasizing how proactive moderation doesn’t just protect users; it drives retention and growth.
Conversations like these highlight why Trust and Safety is critical—not just for protecting users but for building sustainable platforms that thrive.
It’s also why I love what we’re building at Checkstep: helping companies like Bloop create safer, more authentic communities where everyone wins.
Excited to see what’s next for Bloop as they lead the way in redefining social shopping! 🚀
