Backdoor´s mission is to provide an easy, playful and intimate way for people to communicate with each other.
Invented in 2012, by the then 13 years old Daniel Singer and his team of developers, Backdoor is underpinned by a patented technology that allows discrete and anonymous IM communications between a group of friends. The idea for backdoor was born when Daniel, a social networking native, thought that in a world of increasingly open and public communication, there was a growing need for people to have a place to share personal feedbacks, thoughts and feelings with their friends, without the need to disclose their identity.
In a few months after its launch, Backdoor has reached a large user base spread across various continents and demographics, allowing friends to share with each other feedbacks, opinions, feelings and ideas. When receiving a backdoor message, a user will know that it comes from someone he knows and he has selected and he is also able to get a series of clues on who that person might be.
Backdoor was born as an App, but we like to think about it as the platform to enable a new form of transparent human communication.
