About

I'm a father of 1, Air Force military veteran, author and serial entrepreneur. I met my former spouse on a dating app—so I know they CAN work. But I also know how much time gets wasted on fake profiles, ghosting, catfishing, endless swiping and people seeking to fill an entertainment void. Now I've built Kinetic Mingle: an AI-powered video dating platform that shows you who someone really is from day one. We deserves real, intentional connections when they invest time with online dating. We deserve more! I write about the science of modern dating at https://resources.kineticmingle.com

🙏 A Heartfelt Thank You to the Product Hunt Support Team

Today is launch day for Kinetic Mingle and before I talk about our product, I need to talk about the people who made this moment possible.

I want to personally thank Juan and Aine from the Product Hunt support team. Without their dedication, this launch simply would not have happened.

What's the worst catfishing experience you've ever had on a dating app?

Hey Product Hunt community!

I'm Shawn, the founder of Kinetic Mingle. We're building a video-first dating platform, and the #1 reason we started this was catfishing.
