Our Journey
What started off as a passion project, a podcast to create a platform for meaningful conversations, has since grown into a social enterprise dedicated to building a more connected and thriving society.
Unlike traditional businesses driven by profit only, our mission extends beyond making profit from the sale of our products. Our innovative products are designed to improve quality of relationships, by equipping individuals with tools to initiate and navigate meaningful conversations, regardless of social skills or background, thereby fostering connection, where loneliness might otherwise fester.
Beyond our products, through our spaces, we have built a thriving, connected community where individuals can feel seen and find belonging. Providing spaces for mutual support, co-creation of solutions, regular opportunities to connect and build meaningful relationships, improves the psychosocial wellbeing of the community.
By empowering individuals with conversation starters, fostering thriving communities, and providing a platform for shared interests through social clubs, we offer a holistic solution to combat loneliness. We believe that connection is a basic human need, and we are committed to ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to find belonging and build meaningful relationships.
