Why We are going against the narrative to battle loneliness and the negative impact of social media because we want to design a platform to increase the quality of life! The insatiable business-centric model of current social media growth engines is solely designed around consumerism and addiction keeping people on screens and facilitating (new) social connections by staying online and isolated. At LifeBonder we want to take the lead with a human-centric social media platform designed with a purpose - to increase people’s quality of life by meeting new connections in-person. Therefore, encouraging physical activity, preventing isolation and thereby increasing mental health. We aim to design a safe platform to connect with like-minded people. We encourage people to go out and enjoy shared experiences off-platform by suggesting activities in the local area that they're both into. Additionally, we prioritize user needs by positioning them at the core and forefront of our business and placing the advertiser where they should be - at the periphery! Purpose To combat loneliness by improving the quality of life through local activities connecting people with shared interests. Lifebonder NextGen mobile app empowers lonely, depressed and isolated individuals to ignite their social life by facilitating real life off-platform friendships locally.

We want to fill a growing need for direct socializing outside social media - connecting people in friendships that are human, profound, and meaningful. Providing people with local options (local businesses) to encourage physical activity and supporting businesses around them. LifeBonder makes it easy for people to connect in a deeper reality through shared spaces, values, and goals because our vision is to build social bonds in real life. Culture Lifebonder has a purpose-driven culture where we consciously and intentionally follow our company’s mission as a team.
