We're ending the loneliness epidemic
Humans are social creatures, but the town square is gone, and people are lonelier than ever
According to the US Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy, over half of Americans are experiencing measurable levels of loneliness. Loneliness increases the rate of all-cause mortality at a rate comparable to smoking, obesity, and physical inactivity.
Figura's mission is simple: democratize companionship. We're building a platform facilitating rich character-driven interactions, as fulfilling as any normal relationship. With your help, we're putting an end to human loneliness.
