About Ghost Social
The people behind Ghost.
We’re building a privacy-first way to make genuine, human connection easier and more intentional — connecting people to each other, and their gatherings to the right sponsors.
Meet the co-founder
Sophia Huard
After earning her bachelor’s from Stanford and spending a decade in tech, most recently leading AI Operations at OpenSea, Sophia moved to the Chicago suburbs where she found herself starting over, both personally and professionally. Despite trying everything from events to apps, meaningful connection felt hard and superficial.
That challenge led her to create Ghost Social, a privacy-first platform designed to make genuine, human connection easier and more intentional.
Sophia believes connection should be authentic, efficient, and human.
Personal mantra
“Start before you’re ready. Move with purpose. Stay human.”

Naga Kataru
From launching Google Alerts as an early engineer at Google to building wellness ventures and investing in startups, Naga has always been drawn to solving real, human problems through thoughtful technology. With an MBA and MS from Stanford, he’s spent his career focused on infrastructure, innovation, and purpose-driven design.
That path led him to create Ghost Social, a platform designed to simplify connection by gently matching people with the right collaborators, mentors, or friends at the moment they need them most. Every match is intentional, backed by clear “why-connect” reasons that make each introduction feel natural and meaningful.
Naga believes technology should serve human connection, not get in the way of it.
Personal mantra
“What you’ve done or not done before doesn’t matter. What matters is what you choose to do now.”
