Buzz Movement C.I.C. offers a unique investment opportunity: a "tech-for-good" social enterprise with a clear path to social impact and long-term sustainability. We are not a traditional charity; we are a non-profit company with a business model designed for 100% community reinvestment.
A Social Enterprise, Not a For-Profit.
We are BUZZ MOVEMENT C.I.C. (Company No. 16827298), a Community Interest Company Limited by Guarantee. Our statutory "asset lock" is a legal guarantee that 100% of our assets and any future surplus (profit) are permanently reinvested to benefit the community. There are no private shareholders and no dividends. Your funding is legally bound to our social mission.
Beyond Grant Dependency: A "Virtuous Cycle" for Sustainability.
Our C.I.C. structure makes us eligible for vital grant funding from bodies like The National Lottery Community Fund, which ensures our core service remains "free, forever". But we have gone further. We have designed a powerful, self-sustaining ecosystem to ensure long-term scalability and reduce grant dependency. This model is built on an internal virtual economy that drives positive social outcomes.
The "d8 Coin" & The "Virtuous Cycle"
Our user experience is framed as a "game" with a clear objective: "Keep match alive until Buzz is successful".
Positive engagement is rewarded. A successful "Buzz" (a mutual, positive connection) awards both users 200 "d8 Coins" our internal virtual currency.
This reward is not arbitrary. Users on our Free Tier can spend exactly 200 d8 Coins to purchase an "Extra Match," bypassing the 48-hour wait.
This 1:1 reward-to-cost ratio creates a powerful, self-sustaining "virtuous cycle". Success in the platform's core activity (making a connection) directly finances the user's ability to re-engage with that same activity. This design drives engagement and positive social outcomes without external costs.
The Premium Tier & Impact Reinvestment
To fund this ecosystem and our operational costs, we offer an optional Premium Tier subscription (e.g., £4/month). This removes certain friction points of the Free Tier, such as the "Chat Leaver Penalty" or the 1-match limit, and offers enhanced features.
Crucially, the surplus generated from this tier is not private profit. It is captured by the C.I.C.'s "asset lock" and reinvested to scale our infrastructure, fund our safeguarding partnerships, and expand our free service to more young people.
Your Funding is an Accelerator, Not Life Support.
By funding Buzz Movement, you are not plugging a deficit. You are investing in a scalable, sustainable system for social good. Your capital will be used to:
Accelerate development of our native iOS (Swift/SwiftUI) and Android clients.
Scale our GCP (Cloud Run) infrastructure to serve our first 10,000 users.
Formalise our safeguarding partnerships with Mind and the British Red Cross.
Establish our Youth Advisory Panel and community co-design workshops.
We are seeking seed funding and strategic sponsors. Please contact us for our full proposal, financial projections, and C.I.C. documentation. Email us at partnerships@buzzmovement.com
