LIVEKINDLY

What LIVEKINDLY does

LIVEKINDLY is a Vancouver-based sustainable lifestyle company that originated as a news and media platform covering plant-based food, health, cruelty-free beauty, and conscious living. It has since pivoted and expanded into a physical hospitality-and-retail concept called "the LIVEKINDLY House," which the company describes as the world's first sustainable lifestyle experience. The LIVEKINDLY House bundles upscale plant-based dining, boutique eco-friendly retail across Beauty, Home, Food, and Fashion categories, wellness centers and spa services, and culinary education into a single flagship destination format.

The company serves conscious consumers — individuals seeking to live sustainably without sacrificing quality or style — and operates (or has planned) flagship destinations in four international metros: Los Angeles, New York, London, and Dubai. Its core product architecture is a curated, multi-vertical physical-and-digital destination: on-site plant-based restaurants generate food and beverage revenue, in-house boutique stores sell sustainable fashion, cruelty-free beauty, and eco-friendly home goods on a one-time-purchase basis, wellness centers monetize spa treatments as discrete transactions, and culinary classes serve as additional one-off purchases. A separate membership program and newsletter provide recurring-revenue and top-of-funnel community engagement, supplemented by an e-commerce storefront. The go-to-market is community-led, building a like-minded conscious-living audience anchored by the flagship experiences and brand content.

The business is privately held, was founded in 2017, and operates with a headcount of 11-50 employees. Disclosed early-stage funding totals approximately $1.11M across three 2017-2018 rounds led by 7 Gate Ventures and including Bag Ventures, Beyond Impact, and Kale United. Revenue, ownership structure, and financial performance are not publicly disclosed in the available source material.
