About
We are Social Discovery Group, a global technology company and investment firm dedicated to solving the challenges of loneliness, isolation, and disconnection in the digital age. Founded in 1993, we have evolved into a massive international umbrella brand that unites over 60 brands and serves more than 500 million users across 150 countries. Our mission is to transform virtual intimacy into the new normal by creating and supporting digital platforms that foster meaningful human connections. Our approach combines the operational power of a global tech company with the strategic foresight of a venture capital firm. We build and operate our own portfolio of social discovery products, leveraging cutting-edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and game mechanics to enhance user experiences. Simultaneously, through our investment arm, formerly known as Social Discovery Ventures (SDVentures), we invest in promising startups that align with our vision of 'Social Life 3.0'. We are passionate about supporting visionary entrepreneurs who are building the future of communication, mental health, and longevity. We pride ourselves on being a team of digital nomads. With over 1,200 professionals working remotely from all corners of the globe—including Cyprus, the USA, Japan, and beyond—we embrace a culture of freedom and flexibility. We believe that great ideas can come from anywhere, and we are committed to providing our employees with the resources and support they need to thrive, whether that's through our 'work from anywhere' policy, our focus on continuous learning, or our dedication to employee well-being.
