Our mission at BUMP is to make all commerce social.
We let Generation Z shop with their friends online; with epic social features like group chat and rich profiles.
Shopping has always been a social activity - older generations used to goto the mall sharing recommendations, opinions and just generally having fun with friends. Online shopping killed this and we're bringing it back for Gen Z.
On BUMP users can build up their public profiles, follow & message anyone on the platform and even create & share their own group chats. This social experience means kids can hang out, build their online identity with us which in turn drives transactions - we're a marketplace fuelled by a social network.
Founded in 2016 and based in London, we're already backed by leading names in venture capital including Kleiner Perkins, e.ventures and Y Combinator.
"Amazon really solved buying, but it killed shopping in the process." Emily Weiss, Glossier.
