Harness The Superb Power Of The Collective

This LifeBonder Blog and the connected LifeBonder website is the early manifestation of a future next gen social media network dedicated to genuine friendship in all its forms.

This Blog is for a growing group of wonderful people that we hope will join us in making sure that social media evolves into what it always promised it would be: a technology tool to help people of all backgrounds and across the globe form meaningful human connections in long-lasting and genuine friendships.

Through its approach to social media, LifeBonder brings user needs into its core business - while keeping advertisers at the periphery. By connecting people around shared interests, values, and goals, LifeBonder helps people build a deeper connection around shared spaces, values, and goals. With LifeBonder, we aim to break social media addiction and loneliness by providing a mesaverse that facilitates human connections rather than replaces them: a safe and welcoming place for people to come together and connect.

The goal of LifeBonder is to break social media addiction and loneliness by creating a safe space (mesa-verse) where social media lives up to its promises. By bringing users’ needs into the core of the business instead of replacing them, LifeBonder is leading a social media revolution. Genuine friendship is something we all deserve in an ever-connected society that relentlessly demands we be connected, friendship is a haven that doesn't judge, pretend, or demand anything from us. The app is built on a belief that genuine friendship is something we can all achieve.

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. LifeBonder is a safe space focused on building social bonds in real life, as close, interpersonal connections, or as part of a wider LifeBonder community of user-initiated groups. Our platform makes it easy for people to find genuine connections regardless of whether they're introverts, extroverts, or anything in between.

The business model of current social media growth engines is designed around consumerism and addiction as a profit-maximizing mechanism. The mission of LifeBonder is to break social media addiction 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 replacing them. Furthermore, concerned by the noticeably declining mental health in young adults, LifeBonder avoids implicating any social media features contributing to the rising issue.

The main reason for young adults leaving social media is the lack of valuable content and the time wasted scrolling through an endless feed. LifeBonder leads a social media revolution by bringing user needs into the core business - and keeping advertiser needs at the periphery instead. Developed around mutual interests and topics in the same geolocation, LifeBonder makes it easy for people to connect in a deeper reality through shared spaces, values, and goals.

In the last decade we have seen the consequences of a growing disconnect between social media and real life - and the subsequent declining mental health among young adults. Add to this, that we spend a quarter of our lives in virtual social systems according to Center for Human Technology, a think tank in California.

Loneliness, social media addiction and the declining mental health in young adults, has formed the main focus for our team, to improve the quality of life for young adults through our social network tool.

Loneliness and mental health issues gives rise to healthcare costs - in Denmark alone, 20% of working age people suffer from mental illness resulting in 25% of all healthcare costs. Also, we see a growing trend toward more people living alone fostering more lonely people. Before we lived in traditional nuclear families with mother, father and children, but this family pattern is now breaking up – alone in Denmark there were 1.245.000 people living for themselves in 2021 – more that 20% of the total Danish population.

The business model of current social media growth engines is designed around consumerism and addiction as a profit-maximizing mechanism and is markedly anti-social and therefore due for a significant disruption – LifeBonder’s “mesaverse” is that disruption. LifeBonder is putting the social into social media – or rather where it belongs, outside social media.
