The LifeBonder mission is to create a social media platform that lives up to the promise of what social media can be: A tool to facilitate human connections rather than replacing them. We want to make the world a better place by filling a growing need for direct socializing outside social media - connecting people in friendships that are human, profound and meaningful.

We will build a social network focused on building in-person social bonds – or Life Bonds - in close one-on-one connections or as part of a wider LifeBonder community of user-initiated groups. We will lead a social media revolution to bring user needs into the core business - and keep advertiser needs at the periphery where they belong.

Millennials is the first generation to have grown up with social media, and we now know that social media addiction leads to lower quality of life and lonelyness. The problem is that social media is primarily built around the needs of advertisers and not that of users. We are going to change the business model of current social media growth engines which is designed around addiction as a profit-maximizing mechanism into a tool with the the user at the core.
