Wonder's history
How we got started
We got together in early 2020 and started to talk about building a product that would enable people to work and live together, rather than just offering a direct 1:1 connection that tends to be transactional. Alas, we had no money and decided to solve a small problem first that would generate some money. We settled on a platform for booking wedding photographers called 'Marrily'. It was a ton of fun and the metrics were looking good when COVID hit.
We still didn't have any money but the project we'd initially set out to work on became much more relevant. Everyone started talking about 'our' problem. So we hacked together a prototype based on a concept that Leonard had developed 5 years ago at university. The idea was to have a space where people see who else is speaking to whom and could move around and join conversations freely (see
