CEO - Founder
Urbanary Ltd is an AI-powered local discovery and recommendation platform that helps people quickly find relevant venues, experiences, and things to do based on their preferences, context, and intent.
Urbanary combines a proprietary “vibe-based” taxonomy with artificial intelligence to deliver highly personalised recommendations across hospitality, leisure, culture, and entertainment. Unlike traditional directory platforms, Urbanary structures venue and experience data in a way that enables users to search using natural language inputs such as mood, budget, occasion, location, and interests, significantly improving relevance and decision-making speed.
The company is evolving beyond a consumer discovery website into a scalable B2B SaaS infrastructure product through its white label recommendation widget, which allows media companies, universities, tourism organisations, event platforms, and hospitality businesses to embed Urbanary’s intelligent discovery capability directly into their own websites and digital ecosystems.
This enables partner organisations to:
improve user experience by helping audiences quickly discover relevant places and experiences increase engagement and time on site provide curated recommendations aligned to their brand or editorial focus surface relevant venues, offers, and experiences for specific audience segments such as students, visitors, families, or professionals enhance commercial opportunities through affiliate bookings, partnerships, and sponsored placements
Urbanary’s technology includes a scalable venue ingestion engine capable of rapidly building structured databases for new cities, enabling efficient geographic expansion. The platform is designed to integrate with partner systems and can be deployed quickly, allowing organisations to offer personalised discovery tools without significant technical overhead.
The company has validated early demand through user engagement on its Leeds-based platform and is currently onboarding initial white label pilot partners across media, tourism, and experience sectors.
Urbanary operates at the intersection of AI, local commerce, and digital infrastructure, addressing the growing need for more intelligent, personalised discovery tools as consumers increasingly expect instant, relevant recommendations.
The long-term vision is to become the underlying discovery layer powering how people explore cities globally, across multiple industries and digital platforms.
