Best Nights VC invests in startups combatting our “epidemic of loneliness”
Loneliness is a huge epidemic that people are suffering from, and lots of companies are trying to conquer this,” says Andrea Rosen, portfolio manager at Best Nights VC (BNVC), the venturing arm of German spirit maker Mast-Jägermeister. “Anything that is leveraging tech and platforms for people to engage from online to offline is definitely what we’re interested in.”
Four years ago, the Covid pandemic led to a sharp rise in online socialising, bringing with it a rise in social isolation that society is still dealing with. Now, says Rosen, the move from offline to online is seeing a slow, but steady, reversal, and Best Nights is backing companies that are part of this trend.
