A new Dubai-based social networking application, SureSpace, has officially launched with a mission to address the growing mental health concerns linked to toxic social media consumption and the phenomenon of “doomscrolling.” The platform positions itself as a community-first alternative, designed to foster authentic human connection by eliminating manipulative algorithms and creating a verified, safe online environment for users.
A Hybrid Approach to Digital Interaction
SureSpace introduces a hybrid model that merges personal social networking with professional connections, creating a unified space for both aspects of a user’s digital life. The app aims to solve a significant problem highlighted by recent data, which indicates that 46% of millennials and 53% of Gen Z adults frequently engage in doomscrolling, a habit linked to a nearly 30% decrease in life satisfaction and mental well-being. By moving away from the endless, algorithm-driven feeds that prioritize engagement over wellness, SureSpace focuses on facilitating genuine conversations and meaningful interactions.
Building a Verified and Safe Environment
A core feature of the platform is its commitment to user safety. SureSpace employs a dual-layer protection system that combines advanced AI moderation tools with human oversight to proactively eliminate trolling, cyberbullying, and other forms of toxic behavior. This zero-tolerance policy aims to create a secure space where users can express themselves without fear of harassment. The platform also requires user verification, ensuring that connections, whether personal or professional, are genuine.
The Founder’s Vision
The driving force behind SureSpace is Anish Suri, a Dubai-based serial entrepreneur whose personal experiences with mental health challenges inspired the app’s creation. With a background in digital transformation, Suri identified a critical gap in the market for a socially responsible platform. “We are building a space where people can connect creatively and socially in a meaningful way,” Suri stated. “In a world where technology often prioritizes engagement metrics over human well-being, I am committed to creating platforms that put people first.”
Launch and Availability
SureSpace will mark its official debut with a live launch event on September 25, 2025, at the Dubai Technology Entrepreneur Campus (DTEC) in Dubai Silicon Oasis. Starting on the same day, the application will be available for download for users in the UAE on both iOS and Android platforms.
