Video first social networking for dating & meeting friends

Graze is the first true Video Based Social Networking App. Why waste endless time messaging and going on disappointing dates? Instead, you can spend 5 minutes or less on a Video Chat to find out if you have chemistry and a dynamic worth exploring in person.

Hey Everyone! 👋 Makers Heather Hopkins & Joshua Corb here. Joshua was an early engineer at Myspace and has been creating viral SaaS companies for decades. I have been in the dating space since 2017 providing advice, sharing my experiences, and helping others live their best single life. I very much take the no BS approach to dating. That led me to the personal frustrations I was experiencing with dating apps— which I later found through my audience that I was not alone. I was so sick of my time being wasted. Messaging back and forth only for nothing to come of it, or worse— finally going on the date and realizing they are nothing like you thought. All the apps on the market are chat based meaning that after you match, you message. But here’s the thing…it’s nearly impossible to determine relationship chemistry through messaging. Our solution? We take the Video First approach. After matching, you’ll have a 5 minute live video chat as your first encounter and then have the option to message once you know you have chemistry. We love video at Graze. We’re all about making dating feel natural again using video; you’ll see so many cool parts weaved throughout the experience where we really lean into that. We’re here to connect people over smiles, not smile emojis. If you’re sick of your time being wasted and want to actually have a real conversation with someone, you’ll love Graze. Try it and let us know what you think! Oh and PS— we have Friends Mode too. So if you’re in a relationship, no problem— The Graze Method works to meet cool new people too."

@heather_hopkins how big is your UK base? Actually, it's not working for the UK or ANY other country (Facepalm).... again i wish Americans where not so self centric, especially when filling in DIGITS

@heather_hopkins I always wanted to create a dating app with video introduction but never acted on it and today I see it in reality! I wonder how it took that long for someone to bring this idea to life. Dating industry definitely needs a new direction and hope Graze changes things and matches dating to 2021 standards!!! Congrats on the launch!! I'm super excited for you all. I'm signing up for your ambassador program right away! Few suggestions please work on the website redesign right away. I'm surprised you guys didn't work on it before the launch because lots of people will be sharing it today all over the internet. It seems like you guys completely ignored the website and just paying 100% attention to mobile app.

VIDEO FIRST is definitely the way forward. Authenticity can also be easily managed. Congratulation on your launch ?makers !

@bilal_chaglani Thank you so much Bilal. Three years in the making and I always saw VIDEO FIRST as the future. I've watched my generation become consumed with scrolling and hiding behind the keyboard and it only seems to make us more and more disconnected. It is important for me to turn that around. 97% of the population has smart phones now, so let's use them for good! People & connection are what makes life so beautiful. Time to go back to the simple times of meeting someone and having a real conversation! Real smiles, not 😊

It makes so much sense to do this on video! On the side note, how would you combat against ppl who may have lewd behavior on video?

@daryllman Hello Daryll! Thanks so much and great question. Our top priority is to maintain a safe environment for all of our users. Whilst onboarding, every user agree's to our Community Rules, which our Graze admins work 24/7 to uphold. We also use artificial intelligence to assist in video moderation. However, if you ever experience anything that you think violates our Community Rules, please be proactive and report it. We want every Grazer to have the BEST video experience-- and that means feeling comfortable and safe. Hope you enjoy!

Really cool @heather_hopkins! Loved everything about user onboarding process. Would be easier if I could import photos from IG/FB ;)

@alonsofb I know right, I agree! We have had some trouble getting permissions from IG/FB for photo permissions. If you know a way to, we'd love your help. 🙌

Brilliant! I was just talking with my friend about when will people integrate video with a dating site the other day. My company has worked with many dating sites to do data labeling, content moderation (image, text, and video ) to help prevent harmful, violent, and sexual content. Would love to work with the team and take Graze to the next level.

The reasoning behind every app is crucial and Graze has nailed it. Making it more humanly makes it special. Come to India soon 🇮🇳
