Limber

What Limber does

Limber (legal entity: Limber Sport Inc) is a UK-headquartered sports community platform operating as a mobile-first application on iOS and Android. The platform connects individual recreational sports players with nearby athletes, certified coaches, sports clubs, event organizers, and sports retailers within a single integrated ecosystem, supporting 16+ sports including tennis, pickleball, volleyball, badminton, squash, table tennis, running, cycling, climbing, hiking, swimming, rowing, cricket, boxing, and karate. Core technical components include GPS-based location services and a proprietary sports matching algorithm that connects users with nearby players sharing sport preferences and skill levels.

The product portfolio centers on the Limber mobile app, with supporting features including event creation and discovery, coach browsing and booking, a social feed for sharing sports moments, a Sports Marketplace for purchasing products and vouchers from retailer partners, and a digital Loyalty Card offering exclusive promotions. A limited-functionality companion website is also maintained. Payments are processed exclusively through Stripe for coach bookings, club subscriptions, marketplace transactions, and event registrations.

Limber's business model is freemium at the consumer level — the app is free to download and use for individual players — with revenue generated from subscription and transaction fees paid by coaches and clubs, commission from marketplace sales through retailer partners, and fees from event and competition organizers. The company is privately held, incorporated in England and Wales under company number 15759406, headquartered at 86-90 Paul Street, London, and led by founder and CEO Xan Varmuza. Founded in 2024, Limber operates with a 1-10 person team and has not disclosed any institutional funding to date.
