Yope raises $12.3M for a social network with no ads and no algorithm

London startup Yope has raised $12.3 million in early funding led by Northzone. The app is a private, friends-only social network — no algorithm choosing what you see, no public posts, no ads. It plans to make money from paid subscriptions. Yope runs in 12 countries and next plans mini-games and meetups for friends.
