Badger power

A cross-functional team of Badgers built, validated and evolved a one-of-a-kind, impactful platform. At the end of Day 8, it was ready to scale. Phew.

We did it by putting our users first, learning at lightning pace, and harnessing the power of teamwork.

Real impact

Our ambition is to bring over 1,000 people together across 30 countries through their love of cooking. Through the ShareThyme platform, we'll provide older people with 1,500 hours of time spent cooking with a new friend, time that might have been spent alone.

Life is about learning, as far as I’m concerned. You can’t stop learning.

ShareThyme as a concept is fantastic. It’s done exactly what I wanted, which was to connect with somebody on a very personal level. I think it has a softness and a way of connecting people by personality in a way that I haven’t seen in any other online platform!

User-first

We knew the functionality and design had to meet the needs of a 65+ user.
