LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, December 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- dotSpotlight (dotSpotlight.dgital), a new storytelling platform dedicated to highlighting digital creators and builders, has officially launched its inaugural collection of creator profiles. dotSpotlight is built on the belief that every digital product, whether an app, service, online community, e-commerce site, or a piece of amazing digital content—has a story worth telling. dotSpotlight debuts with seven compelling profiles of innovators shaping today’s digital landscape.
Founded by Cheryl Fuerte and Stefan Janssens of 2nd.digital, dotSpotlight was created to bring forward the human narratives that fuel digital innovation. The founders share a common conviction: behind every tool we use, every line of code that solves a problem, every post of an amazing content, and every digital success story, there are real people driven by passion, curiosity, and relentless creativity. Stefan adds, “Code can be written by robots. The future is still written by people with fire in their souls; and behind every great piece of tech, there’s a human with a story .” Cheryl further explains, “The future of tech and the everyday digital things we rely on, whether they’re apps, sites or digital content, aren’t built by corporations or algorithms alone. They’re built by real people passionately. dotSpotlight exists to bring their journeys to life.”

A Platform Committed to sharing stories of Creators and Builders
dotSpotlight plans to release new creator/builder/designer/founder profiles on a bi-monthly basis, continuing its mission to document the stories, struggles, breakthroughs, and personalities behind digital innovation — from hobbyists and solopreneurs to underground builders and emerging founders.
"Really excited to be featured in dotSpotlight's first issue," says Arun Mohan, Founder and CEO of Aura HR and Aurelium. "What I love about this platform is how it reveals the human stories behind the tech. We often see the finished products, but rarely understand the journeys and philosophies that shaped them.”
“It’s an honor to be included in dotSpotlight’s inaugural issue. The diversity of creators and builders that were featured only goes to show that creativity knows no bounds. The formats, platforms, and channels may be different, but the act of creating is a deeply human expression and a common drive to share and connect,” says Heinz Bulos, founder and president of BrandStage.
Cheryl adds, “Many have asked so yes, there will be a story behind dotSpotlight too, in one of our future articles.”. “I was a believer from the get-go. The story for dotSpotlight’s inception will be released with the next batch of digital profiles.” says Stefan.
