Pitch a Date

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out Pitch a Date. This is Apply to Date 2.0. I'm desperately single and have wanted to do crowdsourced matchmaking with prizes for years. I pitched the idea to @aurochsandroses and we hacked this out over the weekend. I'm tired of swiping. I think matchmakers are awesome, but the internet has larger network effects than any one person. And I'm tired of being shallow. Pitch a Date lets people ask custom questions so they can understand if that person is a good match off the bat. And it lets suitors get creative with *actual* date ideas. The most creative, fun people win. Dinner/drinks are awesome, but how about skydiving? Stop wasting time on boring conversations on Tinder/Bumble/Raya/Hinge/*insert every other dating app*. Start receiving actual applications. And if it's not a match, share with friends to win prizes. I'm personally offering $1M to my matchmaker if I get married. Or you can have my SF 1.5/2 bedroom condo if you don't want cash. :) We'll be doing live streaming of dates/application reviews/etc. soon, so stay tuned.

How do you decide how much of a bounty to offer for finding the love of your life?

@davefontenot Whatever you want - I personally think $1M is very reasonable if not low

@davefontenot @lucy_guo my favorite thought experiment on this is: is meeting your significant other worth more or less than your undergrad education? Everyone says, "more." Ok, so it's worth more than ~$250k. The paradox of the dating industry is why there's such a gap between what most people are willing to pay for a dating app or dating service ($10/mo? $100/mo? $1,000/mo?) and the value of finding a significant other (>$250k). Even if you discount it by probability / expected value, dating apps/services are underpriced!

Happy early Valentine's Day, everyone <3 A dating app catering towards those seriously looking to settle should emphasize more than just looks. We built a platform to showcase all aspects of your personality -- from accomplishments to creativity to what your friends have to say about you! I've been in the matchmaking business for awhile now. It's opaque and costly for clients. But don't we all know some gems looking to find a life partner? And most importantly, we all want in on the action. Who doesn't want to watch Lucy livestream herself going through pitches? Don't you ever wonder how others select whom to date? (Spoiler: your heuristics are probably wrong.) Stay tuned and fetch some popcorn.
