Every dating app wants people to stay on it. We want them to leave.

Other apps make their money keeping users from leaving. They sell subscriptions, and they sell visibility: paying to see who liked you, or to get seen at all.

We'd rather get two people out of the chat and onto a real date in their city, holding a Voucher they picked up in the app from a business like yours.

So the businesses we work with aren't a feature of the app. They're the business model.

We're students in Calgary and Winnipeg. We interviewed hundreds of people in bars and on campus about what they hate about dating apps, and built ours around what they said. What we're putting together now is the list of places to send them.

What a Voucher is.

You decide on a deal, and we turn it into a Voucher: a card in the app carrying your name, a line about the place, what the Voucher is worth, where you are and your photos.

A Voucher could be

5% off the bill
$10 off dinner for two
20% off appetizer
Free dessert

Your card sits in the feed people are already going through, the same way a profile does. Someone likes the look of it, the Voucher goes to them, and they come in and redeem it with your staff inside the window it stays live for.

The deal: The terms of the Voucher are decided by you. We don't set them, and we don't take a cut of it.
The length: You pick how long the run lasts. It ends on its own, and we'd only carry on if you wanted to.
The days: Inside that, you choose which days it runs and which days it doesn't.
The cap: You set how many Vouchers can be redeemed before it stops.

It isn't your regulars walking in.

Two people, not one: A Voucher gets claimed for a date. That's a table for two, and neither of them is out to spend as little as possible.
They chose you before they left home: The decision happens in the app, not while they're walking past. They show up having already picked you.
They don't know you yet: A discount to your own mailing list costs you margin on people who were coming anyway. A Voucher goes in front of people who weren't.
And right now it's free: We're running a beta. What we want out of it is data, feedback and the first venue relationships, not your money.

Worst case, nobody claims it and the run ends on the date you set. Best case, there are people in your room who had never been in it before. You never pay us either way.

Interested?

Email us and tell us who you are and where you're located. We'll happily send over more details and visuals, and set up a time to chat.
