Barbee Ventures LLC · Est. 2025
Gaurden is a founder-led venture studio. Every project we launch guards something people care deeply about: their time, their relationships, their home, their future.
The founders
We don't build for markets. We build because we saw something broken and couldn't leave it that way. Every venture under Gaurden starts with a real problem we actually experienced.
Entrepreneur and founder of Matched. Built this because he lived through the broken system, found Abi anyway, and decided to fix it for everyone else.
First user. First feedback. First critic. Co-founder of Matched and the reason the dark theme exists.
Our portfolio
Each project under Gaurden guards something real. We build, own, and operate all of them.
A direct competitor to the broken dating app industry. Our algorithm connects people based on genuine shared interests and can detect dishonesty in profiles. No swiping, no bots, no games. Finally, a system built to actually work.
Jewelry designed for the ADHD mind. Tactile, fidget-friendly pieces for people who can't sit still. Handcrafted to carry meaning while keeping restless hands busy.
Scan any product like Yuka, but for your cat. Instantly know if food, plants, or household items are safe. Because your cat is family and family deserves protection.
"Gaurden started as a seed kit. It became a philosophy. Everything we build is something we'd want protecting our own."
