Foxwordy was founded by lawyer Monica Zent who also founded ZentLaw in 2002, one of the NewLaw firms based in Silicon Valley. Ms Zent said  of the launch: ‘ Foxwordy is pioneering the trend of anonymous social networking with our highly sophisticated anonymity feature that liberates lawyers to finally have 'off-the-record' conversations with their colleagues. This introduces a new era of social networking for professionals everywhere.’ She added that ‘From inception, Foxwordy has been designed to offer the best social media experience customized for lawyers who require the highest level of privacy and discretion. Making our full anonymity features now available to all of our members further enhances the Foxwordy experience.’
