PROVIDENCE, R.I. - TelAve -- Independent technology founder, entrepreneur, recording artist, and researcher Pocahontas Music has reached a milestone few independent creators have ever achieved. Through her company, Pocahontas Music LLC, she has built RAW Social, an independently owned social media platform that has surpassed 137 million registered members, according to verified platform statistics and third party analytics.

Unlike most of today's largest social media companies, which were launched with venture capital funding and teams of investors, RAW Social was founded and developed under independent ownership. The platform continues to expand while remaining creator led rather than controlled by a publicly traded corporation.

The achievement positions Pocahontas Music among the most significant Black technology founders in the independent social networking space. Based on independently verified membership data, RAW Social represents what Pocahontas Music believes is the largest independently owned social media platform founded by a Black creator.

Platform growth has been verified through multiple independent data sources, including Google Analytics, publicly displayed platform statistics, and additional third party measurement services. These sources confirm continued growth well beyond the 100 million member milestone.

RAW Social was created to provide an authentic social networking experience while emphasizing meaningful conversations, communities, mental health awareness, neurodivergent inclusion, creator opportunities, advertising solutions, business onboarding, sponsorships, and direct communication tools.

"I never set out to compete with billion dollar corporations," said Pocahontas Music. "My goal was to build a platform where people could connect authentically while creating opportunities for creators, businesses, and communities around the world. Reaching more than 137 million registered members proves that independent innovation can compete on a global scale."

Beyond her work in technology, Pocahontas Music is also known as a recording artist, songwriter, celebrity ghostwriter, music producer, and independent researcher. Her work spans music, technology, entrepreneurship, and digital innovation.

As Black founders remain significantly underrepresented in the technology industry, the continued growth of RAW Social demonstrates that independently owned platforms can achieve worldwide reach without relying on traditional Silicon Valley investment models.

With more than 137 million registered members and millions of users actively engaging with the platform, RAW Social continues to expand its global community while remaining independently owned and founder led.
