Vermut is the first social prescription platform designed to combat loneliness and empower older adults (55+) through meaningful real-life social connections. Unlike traditional aging-focused solutions that emphasize dependency, Vermut enables older adults to create, join, and lead activities within their communities, helping them stay socially active and engaged. By addressing social isolation—a risk factor as harmful as smoking—Vermut improves mental and physical well-being while reducing healthcare costs. The platform is designed with accessibility in mind, making it easy for those who didn’t grow up with smartphones to navigate and participate. Users can discover local activities, connect with like-minded individuals, and even start their own interest-based groups, from hiking and book clubs to volunteering opportunities. With over 100K users in Spain and strong engagement metrics, Vermut has proven that social connections can scale effectively when older adults are at the center of the experience. Now expanding into the U.S., Vermut is partnering with healthcare providers, employers, and community organizations to integrate social engagement into wellness strategies, ultimately transforming how aging is experienced in the modern world.
