GiveVUGS is a brand that has created the VUG App with the aim of bringing people together and addressing the growing issue of loneliness and disconnection in modern society. The app was born out of the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when the traditional social bonds were broken and people found themselves standing alone in times of crisis. Recognizing the need for genuine relationships, the small team from Calgary, Alberta, Canada behind GiveVUGS believes that by applying social science and computing technologies, they can make hanging out with friends and family online easier, more fun, and more rewarding.

Their goal is to create a multi-layered environment that is engaging for all demographics. The key ingredients of the app include providing a safe space for users to express their feelings and support others, offering entertaining and fun interactions, gamifying relationship-building, and introducing a character called Vuggie to break the ice and keep groups engaged.
