The State of Dating

​A Friday-night conversation about what's broken with dating apps and what could work next.

​Every dating app on your phone is designed to keep you single. That's not a glitch, it’s the business model. The apps that promised to help you find love now make money when you don't.

​We're spending an evening taking this seriously: how we got here, what a dating app would have to do differently to actually be on your side, and what we owe each other when we're trying to find love through software.

​A short talk from Jey Kottalam, founder of Rarebird, on how he's thinking about the problem. Then the conversation opens up to the room.

• ​What: Talk, discussion, drinks

• ​When: Doors 6:30 PM, talk at 7:15

• ​Who: Thoughtful daters tired of the status quo

​Bring your hopes for better dating. Bring a friend who's been complaining about Hinge.

​FYI, we'll have a photographer/videographer capturing the evening. If you'd prefer not to appear in shots, just let us know at the door and we'll mark your nametag.

​Presented by Rarebird. We're designing a better way to date, launching this summer. Get early access.
