We believe that time is the only currency that matters. So, we're on a mission to help you make the most of every minute of your life. Stronger connections with your family and friends. Experiences and adventures that transform who you are. Building the perfect physical and mental temple of health. Consumer technology was supposed to give us leverage. To make it easier to find the right restaurant, the right trip, the right doctor. Instead, every major platform today is optimized against the person using it: more scrolling, more ads, more engagement loops. You have infinite choice and zero clarity. We exist to reverse that. Aurora takes millions of data points about you and about the world and finds the one thing that is right for you, at the right time. Our members — needle-moving tier-1 founders, executives, and athletes — use Aurora to navigate travel, health, dining, experiences, and premium goods with the kind of judgment that used to require a team of people who'd known you for years. Over half use it every single day, 95% every week, and in our first 6 months, member spend & engagement is outperforming industry benchmarks by 5×. Aurora is backed and chaired by Alex Macdonald, the most successful founder in this category, and has raised $9M from experienced operators and tier-1 investors. We are now expanding the Member Experience Team as we scale the product and the member base. Aurora is built in person from our offices in London, New York, and Los Angeles, with flexible remote days. Our team operates on structured, shared shifts across London, New York, and Los Angeles, enabling true 24/7 service for a global clientele. ## About the Founders Aurora was founded in 2024 by: - Jonah Lowenstein, previously backed by leading investors and operators behind Facebook, Spotify, and Venmo - Aurelius Zwick, founded his first business at 16 years old and won the UK's largest young entrepreneurship competition at 17 years old - Dmitry Ogurtsov, 15 years experience building foundational architecture - previously former Director of Engineering at Workbounce, a conversational AI company acquired by ZoomInfo Aurora's first investor and chairman is Alex Macdonald, founder of premium digital concierge Velocity Black, acquired by Capital One for $300M.
