Company Overview
Vermut is the fastest-growing social network for older adults worldwide, combating the significant health risks associated with loneliness. With populations in major economies ageing, this challenge is monumental. Unlike any before us, Vermut effectively mitigates loneliness among seniors through a unique approach: our platform fosters real-life connections at scale, is populated primarily with user-generated content, and its user interface is amazing, specifically designed for individuals aged 55 and above. Our outstanding retention rates, user engagement, and content creation metrics affirm our leadership in this domain. Having established a strong presence in Spain we are now launching in the United States and South America, with plans to incorporate cutting-edge AI technologies to further enhance socialisation among older adults.
