The team's ambition is massive and we won't stop until the impact is made. Our ultimate goal is to operate on a global scale, reach 35M+ users, and go public (IPO). You have the chance to be part of this journey right now, and this interactive dossier was built specifically for you.
Buzbo is building the new way professionals and business managers connect: based on values, culture, ambition and energy, not only cvs.
We start with professionals.
Because when the right professionals gather, business managers follow.
But work has changed. People want purpose, fit and growth.
Companies need people who actually match the team.
The current hiring process misses the human layer.
Professionals considering leaving / looking for a new job.

The automation of applying means quantity over quality. To find true cultural fit, we must move beyond the document and look at the human.
No stiff headshots. Show who you actually are.
Connect different tools like LinkedIn, Strava, Pinterest, and social media to form a complete picture.
Based on the enormous data, we make AI matches connecting you with the right people.
Meet people before the job even exists.
A natural path from network to career.

Work changed. Hiring didn't.
AI has made hard skills a commodity. What actually determines success — how you communicate, what drives you, how you work with others — is still invisible in the hiring process.
Professionals are open to new opportunities but stuck: send a cold application, wait weeks, get rejected by an algorithm that never saw who they actually are.
Business managers want culture fit and the right energy. But the system gives them keyword-matched CVs filtered by HR.
Buzbo fixes this. Professionals build a human-first profile — values, work style, ambitions. Managers do the same. Both sides opt in before any conversation starts. No cold applications. No recruiters in between. Just the right people finding each other.
AI removed hard-skill scarcity. What remains irreplaceable is who you are — how you communicate, what drives you, how you work.
The gap between what managers actually want and what the CV-based system delivers has never been wider. That gap is Buzbo's market.
Events are one of the channels. Software is the scale.
Events are a powerful tool to build the community, get people on the app and create organic trust. The app turns that trust into profiles, matches and paid users.
LinkedIn is a directory — you share your feed and updates. Buzbo is how you expand your network: it actively connects people based on values, work style and culture fit.
LinkedIn is profile-first, reactive and search-driven. Buzbo is match-first and community-led.
The mechanic is similar — both sides opt in, identity leads. But the category is more valuable.
Work has higher intent, longer relationships and stronger willingness to pay. This is a fundamentally larger market than dating.
Events:
Community:
Next proof: app launch, matching, first paid users.
Buzbo equalizes the labour market: app subscriptions and pay-as-you-go for professionals. B2B access — companies, HR accounts — activates once the professional network reaches sufficient density.
This round tests the assumptions behind that model. The numbers are benchmarked against Bumble's early conversion data.
LinkedIn proved the scale of professional networks. Bumble proved identity-led matching can become a large paid platform.
Buzbo brings soft-skill matching, community, events and AI into one layer that neither has built. New category, not a feature.
The moat is not the software. It's the community and the brand.
City-by-city density is defensible. Trust, brand, local culture and matching history compound over time. A competitor can't replicate that with a feature launch.
In their minds, the IPO is already a fact — now it's just execution. Capital will not create the momentum. It will accelerate what's already moving.
We're early and moving fast. A convertible keeps the round simple, avoids a premature valuation debate, and lets strategic investors in before the next priced round. The next round will be used to expand into the US.
Currently AH Limited B.V. A Buzbo B.V. will be incorporated at funding close. IP ownership and founder agreements are documented. A US entity (Delaware) will be evaluated if US investors participate.
The USA is the expansion market, not the starting point. We prove repeatable city density in NL, Germany and UK first — make mistakes fast, learn fast. New York is the target: the highest-density professional networking market in the world.
Buzbo is early. But it is not theoretical.
130 people at the first event. A team building on belief. 20 active investor conversations. A clear path to city-by-city scale.
This is not another app. It's a new professional network built around who people are.
