At Pyxi, our mission is to help people become socially fit—because true wellbeing and longevity aren’t just about physical health, but about the quality of our human connections. We’re deeply aligned with the findings of Professor Robert Waldinger’s 80-year Harvard study, which shows that strong, real-life relationships are the strongest predictor of a long and fulfilling life. Yet over the past two decades, the rise of smartphones and digital dependence has caused a sharp decline in face-to-face interaction—especially among younger generations. As explored in The Anxious Generation, screen-based living has eroded vital social skills and left many feeling isolated, anxious, and disconnected.
Digital loneliness is now a global health and economic crisis. It doesn’t just affect our minds—it weakens our physical health, shortens lifespans, and damages productivity across society.
We believe it’s time for a societal reset. To remember that we are human, and humans are wired for in-person connection—not endless scrolling. Screens should support our relationships, not replace them. That’s why Pyxi is building smart, intentional technology to help people log off, look up, and reconnect in real life—whether through shared experiences, local community, or workplace friendships. We’re here to help the world move toward a healthier, more socially connected future.
Founded in 2024, Pyxi was born from the recognition that many people struggle to make meaningful connections in today's fast-paced world. We started in London and are expanding to help people find their tribe wherever they are.
