Get to know us

Back in 2021, something shifted in me. I started to really feel how the world was changing. People seemed more divided, more isolated, and kindness felt like a fading memory. Guided by faith and a quiet desire to make a difference, I felt called to do something - something that reflected the values I believe in: love, compassion, and true community.

By 2025, after a failed attempt to build a platform the traditional way, I came to a humbling realization: TugOnn couldn’t be built for people from the outside - it had to be built by them, for them. That’s the only way it could truly make a difference from the very beginning.

And that’s how TugOnn began - not as a business, but as a hope to bring communities back together. To help people reconnect, find each other more easily, support one another, and act with purpose. Among all the groups I reached out to, the student community stood out the most. Their energy, creativity, and openness made them the perfect ones to take the first step. So TugOnn’s journey started with them - shaping a platform for something truly meaningful: real, lasting change.
