Matze founded [[Parler]] in August, 2018. At the initial startup of the network, it was practically unusable due to many bugs in the programmed code. In 2019, Matze said that there was around 100,000 users on Parler; this number more than doubled when nearly 200,000 Twitter-Banned Saudi Arabians joined the platform. In the summer of 2020, the users on [[Parler]] surged, as prominent individuals joined the platform including: [[Dan Bongino]], [[Brad Parscale]], [[Kayleigh McEnany]], [[Rudy Guiliani]], [[Matt Gaetz]], [[Donald Trump Jr.]], [[Sebastian Gorka]], [[Mark Dice]], and [[David Icke]].
