spayce.
Led by CEO Nathan Lyken, In May 2024, spayce was born out of the intrigue in wondering what like-minded people were around him. Sitting in his bedroom, he decided that he'd try and search for these individuals, going on LinkedIn, Facebook groups, and Instagram hashtags, but nothing was found.
"There must be a way for me to find someone like me, without jumping through all of these hoops?" This question lingered on Nathan's mind until a lightbulb moment struck.
Creating a niche social media was the first and only idea; it sparked the creative and entrepreneurial side. Nathan wanted to make sure that other people around the world who felt exactly like him (Lost, lonely, uninspired and disconnected) were able to connect with other entrepreneurs, investors and collaborators in one tidy ecosystem. The 'spayce.' Ecosystem.
In March 2025, Nathan was joined by current Co-Founders Miguel Silva (CTO) & John Wilson (LSE), who helped Nathan bring his dream to life. Through countless iterations and multiple Beta builds, we are so close to final launch.
So join us on this journey. Become the change you want to see.
Become spayce.

How can I begin to describe my time with Poveda... It was simply life-changing! I always imagined that Bali would be a breathtaking destination, but thanks to Poveda, I was able to not just experience the culture, but have once-in-a-lifetime memories. I got so much more than I ever anticipated from my holiday.
