Andrew Sispoidis, CEO

“I've spent decades at the intersection of technology and privacy, witnessing firsthand how digital systems evolve from tools into intimately embedded aspects of human life. What's happening now with AI is unprecedented. The depth of personal disclosure, the level of psychological insight, and the potential for privacy violation exceed anything we've ever seen.”

Tina Santana, COO

“In today’s AI landscape, your data is the business model. Billions raised, endless innovation—and yet, most major platforms still depend on harvesting your personal information to stay afloat. At Kynismos, we believe privacy isn’t a feature. It’s a right.”
