Nela Braun, Founder & CEO

Nela founded bubbltag to make real-life connection easier, safer, and less awkward. Inspired by the small everyday moments when people notice each other but never connect, she is building Bubbltag as a consent-first way to discover and connect with people nearby.

Before bubbltag, Nela worked in venture capital investing across the US & Europe.
