Nobody trains you for this.
You can wake up at 4:40am in January. You can lose a race and show up the next morning. You can be coached hard and not take it personally.
Nobody ever taught you how to move to a new city and find your people.
Rebekah Sun
I coxed varsity for four years at Penn. Two-a-days, winter training, the whole thing. Every morning I showed up knowing exactly where I belonged and who I'd be spending the day with. I never stopped to think how rare that was.
Then I graduated from Wharton in 2026. My friends scattered across different cities almost overnight. One week we saw each other every day. The next, we didn't. I realized I had no idea how to find my people again, because I'd genuinely never had to do it.
I interned at Dow Jones and had the New York jobs lined up that you're supposed to take. I turned them down to build Livvo instead.
I started Livvo because I wanted a way to keep meeting other athletes after graduation, just like I always had throughout college. I figured I wasn't the only one.
A network you keep, not a phase you pass through.
Most things built for athletes serve one chapter. Recruiting sites hand you off at graduation. Alumni networks want a donation. Job boards want a resume. Each one covers a few years and then you age out of it.
Livvo is built to hold all of it. The senior with one season left. The analyst two years out. The founder at thirty-five. The executive who still wakes up early out of habit.
The value isn't in any one of those groups. It's in connecting them to each other, which nobody has done.
Four chapters. One lifecycle.
The value isn't in any single stage. It's in connecting athletes across generations, from their last season to decades after graduation.
Still competing
You want to know what actually happens next, from someone who's already lived it.
A few years out
New city, new job, no built-in team. You want to find your people again.
Mid career
You've built something for yourself. Now you want peers who understand the pace and people you can help along the way.
Further along
You hire, you mentor, and you still get up early out of pure habit.
Same person. Different week.
The built-in introductions disappeared. We're putting them back.
There are more of us than you'd think.
Four things we won't change.
Introductions, not browsing
There's no feed, no search, no scrolling through people. You can't look anyone up here, and nobody can look you up. That's by design.
Everyone is verified
Every member is confirmed as a varsity athlete against rosters, department records and association databases. We validate each person. It's the entire reason this works.
Leaving is the win
When two members swap numbers and take it off Livvo, that's the outcome we're optimizing for. We're not trying to keep you here.
One at a time
You'll never get five introductions at once. One person, one week, enough attention to see where it goes.
Where connections are formulated.
Livvo Labs is where we formulate introductions and connections between athletes. Across schools, sports, cities, industries and generations, we bring the right people together and see what comes from it.
Livvo is the community. Livvo Labs is where the connections are formulated.
Introductions are just the start. Social events are coming next, bringing Livvo members together in person.
We're starting with a small number of schools on purpose. A network like this is only as good as its density, and we'd rather build something great at four campuses than spread ourselves thin across four hundred.
If your school isn't open yet, that's okay. Put your name down to join and we'll review your profile and let you know when there's a spot.
