Leap is a social learning platform aimed at people over 55 that organizes members into small online groups built around shared interests. The product is currently in beta and features conversations and classes hosted by specially recruited members, with users connecting over audio and video in groups of five to ten. Founders Caroline Ingeborn and Vishal Kapur bring experience from Toca Boca and Screenhero, respectively, and met through the South Park Commons community. The company emphasizes creating tailored, intimate experiences to foster meaningful connections among retirees. Leap raised a seed round to fund its growth and product development, with investors highlighting the opportunity in targeting a wealthy, fast-growing demographic that has smartphones at hand.
