What FUSS does

FUSS is a London-based, privately held consumer technology company founded in 2024. Per its own positioning, the company operates a mobile application designed to help groups of friends decide where to go out — effectively a social decision-support tool for venue selection (restaurants, bars, nightlife, and similar social destinations). The company is at a very early operational stage, with 1–10 employees and a three-person leadership team comprising a CEO (Daria Berman), a CMO (Anastasiia Fasuldinova), and a CPO (Anastasiia Kanygina). The company has received one disclosed funding round from ULTRA.VC in April 2025, with the dollar amount not publicly stated.

The company has not publicly disclosed a pricing model, monetization mechanism, product feature set, technology stack, or any technical architecture. Its public web property (fuss-world.io) presents only a verification/waiting page to automated visitors, yielding no extractable product, pricing, or technology details. No customer segments, distribution channels, named users, partnerships, regulatory footprint, or geographic markets are documented in the source data. As such, the underlying technology, business model mechanics, and addressable customer base cannot be characterized beyond the consumer social-decision-support framing the company itself provides.

Direct peers

• Beli: Beli is a social restaurant-discovery app where friends rank and share places to eat. It is highly comparable to FUSS as a direct peer: both target friend-group restaurant/venue decision-making, both are mobile-first social utilities, and they compete for the same end-user behavior.
• The Infatuation: The Infatuation is a restaurant-discovery and recommendation platform with strong social-media distribution. It is comparable to FUSS because both aim to answer "where should we eat/go out," though The Infatuation is content-led while FUSS is a friend-graph utility.
• Untappd: Untappd is a social app for discovering, rating, and sharing beer/venue experiences with friends. It is comparable to FUSS as a direct peer in the social going-out category, with a similar friend-graph and venue-rating mechanic, though narrower in vertical (beer/venues).
• Resy: Resy is a restaurant discovery and reservation platform owned by American Express. It is comparable to FUSS because both intervene at the moment of choosing where to dine, though Resy is reservation-led and venue-monetized while FUSS is friend-decision-led.

Broad incumbents

• OpenTable: OpenTable is a restaurant-reservation and discovery network. It is comparable to FUSS because both surface and influence the restaurant-selection decision, though OpenTable monetizes via reservations and diner data while FUSS leads with friend-decision utility.
• Tripadvisor: Tripadvisor is a broad review and discovery platform for restaurants and experiences. It is comparable to FUSS as a venue-discovery incumbent, though its primary use case skews tourist/travel rather than local friend-group going-out decisions.
• Foursquare City Guide: Foursquare is a long-established location-discovery and check-in platform. It is comparable to FUSS because both help users decide where to go based on social signals and tips, although Foursquare is a mature, ad-monetized incumbent versus FUSS's early-stage social app.
• Google Maps (Local discovery): Google Maps is the default utility for "where to go" decisions globally. It is comparable to FUSS as the dominant incumbent absorbing the same user moment via ratings, lists, and "popular times" data, representing both a competitor and an integration partner.
• Yelp: Yelp is a broad incumbent in venue/restaurant discovery and reviews. It is comparable to FUSS because both sit at the "where should we go" decision moment, though Yelp is a much larger, general-purpose review platform versus FUSS's friend-group-focused going-out utility.

Emerging players

• Hangover Buddy / Where To (category peers): Various emerging social apps (e.g., Where To, casual "what are we doing tonight" apps) target the same group-decision moment as FUSS. They are comparable as emerging players in the same niche, often with similar friend-graph mechanics but limited scale.
