šŸŽ The Ultimate LP Holiday Gift Guide šŸŽ

As the holidays approach, we’ve curated the perfect gift guide featuring some incredible consumer companies from our portfolio.

  • Oura Ring – Smart wearable ring for sleep and fitness activity tracking

Michael has been an Oura evangelist since the early days, and if you’ve ever had a conversation with him, you already know how great they are. We expect him to give one as a gift (and maybe another for himself, just in case).

  • Synthesia – CreatesĀ AIĀ generated video content

Forget Google Translate; Thomas will be wowing his family this Christmas with AI-generated videos in every language, courtesy of Synthesia. Grandma in France? Auntie in Tokyo? No problem! festive greetings will be multilingual, and you’ll never guess it’s AI.

  • Vinterior – Marketplace for pre-owned home vintage furniture

Chloe just bought her first home and is using Vinterior to find unique vintage treasures. Her house is turning into an Instagram-worthy masterpiece while the rest of us still haven’t hung our picture frames.

  • Canva – Online design and visual communication platform that provides user friendly design tools for non-designers.

Laura loves hosting and is taking holiday creativity to the next level. With Canva, she’s designing menus, cards, and invitations for her friends and family. The rest of us will be lucky if we remember to write our names on gift tags.

 

  • Roli – Manufacturer of interactive pianos

Omolade is bringing the music this season with Roli’s interactive pianos—perfect for keeping her newborn entertained and maybe composing the next big holiday hit.

  • Ezra – Provider of AI-based cancer screening solution for the patients

Chris, as the wisest (and oldest) member of the team, knows the importance of staying healthy. This Christmas, he’s treating himself to a full-body MRI with Ezra AI—because nothing says festive like peace of mind.

  • Booksy – A platform to schedule & manages appointments for beauty services

As a new mum, Marloes has zero time for herself, but with Booksy, she’s booking well-deserved pamper time. Facials, massages, maybe even a mani-pedi—it’s her holiday treat to herself.

  • Urban Legend Doughnuts – A food technology company that has developed a new method of producing baked goods that significantly reduces sugar, fat and calories.

Freddie’s sweet tooth is legendary, so Urban Legend Doughnuts are an obvious choice. Low-calorie doughnuts mean he can indulge guilt-free—just don’t expect to see him sharing any at the office holiday party.

Harry’s a sportswear fanatic, and Hylo is his go-to for sustainable, stylish gear. This Christmas, he’s running circles around us (literally) while we sit on the sofa in our Christmas jumpers.

  • Cleo AIAIĀ assistant that’s helped 6 million people avoid their overdraft, build credit, and budget better.

Nicola, our CFO, is the queen of financial savvy, but even she can use a little help navigating holiday madness. Enter Cleo AI—her sassy virtual assistant that not only tracks every expense but also delivers sharp one-liners about our spending habits. We’re bracing ourselves for the judgment!

And watch out in 2025—after years of focusing on the US, Cleo is planning a big UK comeback.Ā  You’ll find it back on the UK Apple Store soon!

  • Bolt – App-based platform for ride-hailing and on-demand delivery services

Joe’s holiday season is all about efficiency, but the real magic of Bolt is how it’s there for him in all the European cities he frequents. Whether he’s zipping through Paris, Berlin, or a last-minute dash to a London holiday party, Bolt’s got his back. Ā (Just don’t forget to share the ride credit, Joe—we’re looking at you.)

  • Soundcloud – Mobile-based music streaming platform

Matt’s the office DJ, so Soundcloud is practically part of his personality. This Christmas, expect his playlists to feature obscure festive beats you’ve never heard of—because nothing says, ā€œseasonal spiritā€ like a deep techno remix of “Jingle Bells.”
