šŸŽ The Ultimate LP Holiday Gift Guide šŸŽ

As the holidays approach, weā€™ve curated the perfect gift guide featuring some incredible consumer companies from our portfolio.

  • Oura Ring ā€“ Smart wearable ring for sleep and fitness activity tracking

Michael has been an Oura evangelist since the early days, and if youā€™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 ā€“ 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 youā€™ll never guess itā€™s AI.

  • Vinterior ā€“ 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 havenā€™t hung our picture frames.

  • Canva ā€“ 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, sheā€™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 ā€“ Manufacturer of interactive pianos

Omolade is bringing the music this season with Roliā€™s interactive pianosā€”perfect for keeping her newborn entertained and maybe composing the next big holiday hit.

  • Ezra ā€“ 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, heā€™s treating himself to a full-body MRI with Ezra AIā€”because nothing says festive like peace of mind.

  • Booksy ā€“ A platform to schedule & manages appointments for beauty services

As a new mum, Marloes has zero time for herself, but with Booksy, sheā€™s booking well-deserved pamper time. Facials, massages, maybe even a mani-pediā€”itā€™s her holiday treat to herself.

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

Freddieā€™s sweet tooth is legendary, so Urban Legend Doughnuts are an obvious choice. Low-calorie doughnuts mean he can indulge guilt-freeā€”just donā€™t expect to see him sharing any at the office holiday party.

Harryā€™s a sportswear fanatic, and Hylo is his go-to for sustainable, stylish gear. This Christmas, heā€™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 AIā€”her sassy virtual assistant that not only tracks every expense but also delivers sharp one-liners about our spending habits. Weā€™re bracing ourselves for the judgment!

And watch out in 2025ā€”after years of focusing on the US, Cleo is planning a big UK comeback.Ā  Youā€™ll find it back on the UK Apple Store soon!

  • Bolt ā€“ App-based platform for ride-hailing and on-demand delivery services

Joeā€™s holiday season is all about efficiency, but the real magic of Bolt is how itā€™s there for him in all the European cities he frequents. Whether heā€™s zipping through Paris, Berlin, or a last-minute dash to a London holiday party, Boltā€™s got his back. Ā (Just donā€™t forget to share the ride credit, Joeā€”weā€™re looking at you.)

  • Soundcloud ā€“ Mobile-based music streaming platform

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