Three Founders Challenging the Status Quo

Three Founders Challenging the Status Quo

Today, we're excited to welcome three new companies to the LvlUp Ventures portfolio. They're building in completely different industries, but each is taking a fresh approach to problems that affect millions of people every day.

Goblin

The internet has made it easier than ever to build communities, but it's also made those communities harder to protect.

Goblin is building proactive trust and safety infrastructure that helps platforms detect scams, spam, harassment, and other harmful behavior before it spreads. Rather than relying solely on reactive moderation, Goblin gives companies the tools to create healthier online environments from day one.

As more businesses depend on user-generated content and online communities, trust and safety will only become more important. Goblin is building the kind of infrastructure that quietly makes the internet better for everyone.

Homefund

For many people, homeownership feels more out of reach than ever before.

Homefund is approaching the challenge from a completely different angle. The company has built a platform for blockchain-verified home sweepstakes, creating a transparent and verifiable process that gives more people an opportunity to own a home.

What impressed us most wasn't just the technology—it was the team's willingness to rethink a traditional industry and use new tools to create a more accessible experience. It's a bold idea with the potential to open new doors for consumers.

Meetable

Despite living in a world that's more digitally connected than ever, many people have never felt more isolated.

Meetable is building a real-world social network centered around belonging instead of scrolling. The platform helps people discover local communities, meet others with shared interests, and build meaningful friendships offline.

We believe products that strengthen real human connection will only become more valuable over time, and Meetable is building with that mission at its core.

Looking Ahead

What ties these three companies together isn't the industry they're in—it's the mindset of the founders behind them.

Each team identified a problem hiding in plain sight and decided there had to be a better way. Whether it's making online communities safer, expanding new paths to homeownership, or helping people build genuine relationships, they're creating products designed to improve everyday life.

That's exactly the kind of founder we want to support at LvlUp Ventures.

We're excited to welcome Goblin, Homefund, and Meetable to our portfolio, and we're looking forward to supporting them as they continue building.
