I personally think you should remove "first" from your marketing text. Is this truly the world's first matchmaking app? I highly doubt it. I don't think any startup should use "first" or "only" in any of their marketing materials....it's virtually always a false statement.
That said, I do love the concept.
@drewmeyers Great that you like the concept. The word 'first' is being used primarily to make it clear (in a very concise way) that this is not matchmaking in the way that Tinder, Hinge and others call themselves 'matchmaking apps'.
That being said, there's no established matchmaking app out there, and we are very early entrants into this vertical. From a consumer perspective this would be the first matchmaking app they've come across.
I'm married and have been for over 10 years. In that time, I have become convinced that the process of matchmaking can be improved. Apps like Spritzr will make that possible. If I tell my wife about this app, I might not hear the end of it.
Love the fact that you can play matchmaker! So much opportunity to continue to innovate in the dating space. Tinder got everyone off the desktop and into mobile, now products like Spritzr are going to drive innovation and bring new forms of engagement to everyone, not just single people! Bravo and keep it up!
Hi Hunters!
I’m the Founder of Spritzr, the social network for matchmaking. I set it up because I found online dating to be exhausting. A ton of time was spent swiping and messaging, with few quality dates. I preferred meeting new people through my social circles - at parties, weddings, or through introductions. I wanted a way to find more such dates but without the effort or awkwardness involved in the real world.
Here are a few reasons why Spritzr is different:
1. Matches come from humans (friends, professional matchmakers, or ‘crowdsourced’ from the community), not algorithms.
2. There’s a ‘pay it forward’ mentality. The more matches you find for others, the more they’ll find for you.
3. It’s for both single and married people. The latter act as Matchmakers alone.
4. It’s rewarding. Great matches earn you gratitude, recognition, ‘Karma Points’, and potentially more.
We’re super excited to be up on Product Hunt and to answer any questions you might have. If you have any private feedback, feel free to email me at manshu@spritzr.com.
Pretty cool and churn has always been a problem in the online dating space (platform working too well). This gets around that and also capitalizes on FOTO (Fear-Of-Tindering-Out) w/ already matched folks!
@kyledaustin You hit the nail on the head wrt churn, which is a huge issue with standard online dating companies. Liking the FOTO acronym :)
