At Lifebonder, we’re on a mission to break social media addiction, fake personas, cyber-bullying, cancel culture, and loneliness by providing a Mesaverse that lives up to the promise of what social media can be: A safe place to facilitate human connections rather than replace them.

If you are a people person and team player who loves the rewarding challenge of building a brand and a community, we want to hear from you.
