Build a dating app only for people who play sport every week

… up thanks to this and afterwards it was like you know 200 300 followers and just people signed up from this that's amazing bro i love it super simple okay let's get back into the app itself yeah so that's how i started actually that's how i tested and validated the concept there were also two apps in france that i'm gonna mention in a few slides that were already doing this so i was like all all right, if they are doing it, I can do it as well.

So yeah, the app itself, it's a dating app, but it's exclusively for active singles, for people that do sports. I would say sometimes a lot of people ask me, what would you define someone that practices sports? My definition is someone that practices sport at least once a week is an active single. That's, for me, the baseline of it. Okay. Let me share the screenshots. Yeah, definitely. So yeah, the app is how you see it right now.

And I saw on the chat that someone said iOS dating

apps are impossible to get approved since 2024. Good history lesson though. So I knew I had this insight from other people that wanted to do it. And basically they had like a design spam from Apple and we didn't get it because I think that the app was niche and there weren't that many dating apps for sporty people. There is a lot of dating apps, but not that many for sporty people. So that's one of the reasons why we didn't get it, I think. I like that. Thanks for sharing that.

Yeah, no worries. So yeah, the app was live. What was our play? Basically, we weren't experts in this, but we knew that online dating was like a $10 billion market. And there wasn't any product that was like answering the need for active singles to actually meet each other. There was, you know, these big trends of like Strava being the new dating app, RunClubs being the new dating app, but they were not dating apps per se. So I was like, let's do …
