    We started 2 years ago with the fundamental idea that social accountability was missing in online dating.

Our mobile app is expected to release on March 8, 2014.”

  • In an interview, Jay Wadhwani discussed the online dating industry and said that he considers Tinder, an online dating network, a decent dating service. He said,

    I guess I would say Tinder, but for one reason in particular. They did what I always wanted to do, but quicker  – they proved college students would use dating apps. The problem with Tinder, however, is that the stigma has now evolved into hookup dating. That works for some people, but for most, it doesn’t. Even the people that want to hookup don’t blatantly express that intention. As a result nobody trusts anybody else and the whole system falls apart.” [9]Global Dating Insights
