Founded by Leon Pluns, Bondr is a new social discovery app that helps students and young professionals build real-world friendships through shared activities. Developed with support from the University of Calgary’s Hunter Hub, Bondr launched in April after extensive student-led focus groups.
The idea was born from Pluns’ experience in Germany, where a simple note led to new connections. Bondr aims to combat digital loneliness by moving interactions offline. The team, including Pablo Mugnaini and Carlos Andres Montoro, will showcase Bondr at Web Summit 2025 in Vancouver this May.
