LifeBonder

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. Our privacy-safe AI enables authentic, modest and anonymous profile matching, with trusted pre-verified users, who share common interests to ensure our users have a safe space for expressing themselves. Vision To improve the quality of life. Our vision is to build a safe and kind social network to make authentic social bonds in real life that makes people less lonely and drives them off their couches for socializing, improving their mental wellbeing through authentic life experiences. Mission We are the game-changers, innovators and disruptors - because it's time for transformation! At LifeBonder, we're on a mission to end loneliness and break social media addiction, fake personas, cyber-bullying, cancel culture 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. 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. We are motivated as a team to achieve our impact goals regarding decreasing loneliness and isolation and encouraging in-person meet-ups and physical activity, especially among young people. Lifebonder’s cultural approach towards our employees and customers: Conversational - we are human-centric and wish to emotionally connect with our users like bosom buddies. Inclusive - we are diverse and respectful of all differences. Enthusiastic - we celebrate life; we are dreamers, game-changers and innovators. Kind - we believe it is important for our wellbeing to be kind to each other. Hopeful - we believe our team/platform/user collaborations will drive a positive change. Trusting - we’re transparent & honest. Users are at the core and forefront of business. Reassuring - we want our team and users to feel safe and good about being their authentic selves Lifebonder’s core value – AUTHENTICITY A human-centric platform where people feel free to be their real authentic selves. And feel a sense of belonging. What Lifebonder is standing against - ISOLATION & CANCEL CULTURE.

We’ve built deep expertise in what founders struggle with: not just understanding their numbers, but acting on them with clarity and confidence. That journey led us to create Nume, the world’s first AI CFO. Nume is currently in private beta and we are gearing up for a major public launch in August that aims to set a new benchmark for AI product rollouts Built on years of real-world financial experience, Nume combines advanced AI with financial intelligence to bring the power of a CFO to every founder’s fingertips.

All Gravy

All Gravy: All the people stuff in one employee app - built for hospitality Hospitality is one of the largest employment sectors in Europe. It's also one of the most chaotic to operate. The average multi-site restaurant group or hotel brand manages hundreds of hourly workers across dozens of locations - none of whom sit at a desk, have a work email, or receive information through the same channel twice. The result is predictable. New starters show up on day one not knowing what to do. Training happens inconsistently, or not at all. Managers spend half their day answering the same questions on repeat. Communication happens in WhatsApp groups that the business doesn't own, can't audit, and can't control. Staff churn - already the highest of any industry, averaging 75% annually - gets worse. And operators have no way of knowing why. The tools that exist to solve this were built for office workers. They assume laptops, corporate email, and people who sit still. Hospitality doesn't work like that. All Gravy is the fix. We're a communications and learning app built specifically for multi-site hospitality operators - restaurant groups, hotel brands, contract caterers, quick-service chains. Our customers typically manage between 200 and 1,000 staff across multiple locations in the UK, Scandinavia, and Germany. The product gives operators one place to run everything people-related: Staff communications - a branded, structured feed that works like social media. Managers post to the right people by location, role, or team. Employees are notified. Everything is documented. No more WhatsApp chaos. Onboarding journeys - automated, role-specific sequences that start the moment a new hire is added to the system. They arrive on day one prepared, connected to the brand, and knowing what's expected of them. Training and learning - a full LMS designed for deskless workers, supporting both digital courses and in-person sessions, with attendance tracking, completion records, and automated reminders built in. Digital handbooks - a living, searchable library that employees access from their phone. Update once, everyone sees it instantly. No more outdated PDFs or laminated binders no one reads. AI assistant - trained on the operator's own content, not the internet. Employees get instant, accurate answers to questions about policies, procedures, and their role. Managers stop answering the same things over and over. The employee experience looks and feels like a social media app - because that's what people actually use. Adoption is high because the product meets people where they already are. The admin side is a web dashboard where operators build and manage everything centrally, with full visibility into engagement, training completion, onboarding progress, and team sentiment across every location. The problem is big. There are roughly 90 million deskless workers in Europe. Hospitality alone employs millions, with vacancy and churn rates that cost the sector billions in lost revenue every year. The tools available to operators haven't kept up with what the problem actually requires. The opportunity is clear. Operators who invest in their people's experience - making them feel informed, connected, and supported from day one - see measurably lower turnover, better training compliance, and lower management overhead. All Gravy makes that investment easy, scalable, and consistent across every location in a business. We've raised €5.8M+ to date, backed by Moonfire Ventures, Scale Capital, and a syndicate of angels including senior operators and investors from Google, Deliveroo, and Peakon. Our customers include some of the largest hospitality operators in Northern Europe. We're building the operating layer for the front-line hospitality workforce - the infrastructure that makes it possible to run a great team at scale, not just at one site, but across all of them.
