## TL;DR

This paper explores potential links between recent anomalies in B-meson decays indicating lepton flavor universality violation and dark matter, proposing new physics models that could explain both phenomena.

## Contribution

It introduces novel models connecting B-meson decay anomalies with dark matter, addressing recent experimental deviations from the Standard Model.

## Key findings

- Models can simultaneously explain B-meson anomalies and dark matter properties.
- Certain parameter spaces fit experimental data and cosmological constraints.
- Proposes testable predictions for future experiments.

## Abstract

In recent years, the LHCb collaboration has published results on the measurement of several observables associated to semileptonic $b \to s$ transitions. Interestingly, various deviations from their expected values in the Standard Model have been found, including some tantalizing hints pointing towards the violation of Lepton Flavor Universality. We discuss New Physics models that address these anomalies and explore their possible connection to the dark matter of the Universe.
