A different posture toward dating.
Mainstream apps optimize for time-on-app. We optimize for the only signal that actually predicts a good first date — time on a real video call together.
Verified before you meet
Every member completes selfie + liveness verification. Optional ID for higher tier. Biometric data deleted within 24 hours.
Conversation, not text
Twelve minutes on video, server-authoritative timer, mutual one-tap extend. We store metadata only — never recordings.
Vouches from your people
Friends and family record short videos about you. Approved by you, moderated by us, layered into your trust profile.
Pay once, find your person
Ninety-nine dollars. No subscription. We make money when you sign up — then we want you to leave with someone.
Three moments. The whole loop.
You drop in or schedule. You spark. You decide. The system reveals only on mutual sparks. There is nothing else.

You sparked.
You and Daniel both said yes. A scoped conversation just unlocked.
Five things we don't want to compromise on.
- 01
The conversation is the product.
Not the profile, not the message tab, not the swipe deck. We replace all of those with twelve minutes on video.
- 02
Aligned incentives, on purpose.
We charge once when you sign up. We don't make money from your loneliness. We want you to leave with someone.
- 03
Verified, before anything happens.
Selfie + liveness before the first spark. Optional ID for higher trust tier. Biometric data deleted within 24 hours.
- 04
Decisions, in private.
After a spark, each person privately marks Spark or No spark. The system reveals only on mutual sparks. Anything else closes silently.
- 05
No data we don't need.
No photo search. No public browsing. No free-text reviews. Structured signals only — and they belong to you.
A long list of things we left out.
Mainstream apps treat absence as a flaw. We treat it as the product. Here’s what you won’t see when you open Hey Cupid!
No swipe deck.
Profile-as-product rewards the photo, not the person. We replaced the deck with a 12-minute conversation.
No DM tab.
Slow-burn texting kills more dates than it makes. Messaging only unlocks after a mutual spark.
No subscription.
Subscription dating apps profit while you stay alone. We get paid once when you sign up — then we want you to leave.
No public browsing.
Your profile is invisible until someone has actually had a verified spark with you. No photo search, ever.
No free-text reviews.
Anonymous accusation systems get weaponized. All feedback is structured, mutual-confirmation-gated, and anonymized.
No engagement bait.
No streaks, no “your match expires”, no notification spam. We send transactional emails and a weekly digest. That’s it.
A few signals. The rest is noise.
No subscription. Pay once when you sign up; if you take a long break with a partner and want to come back, $29 reactivation — waived after six months.
Server-authoritative timer. Optional five-minute mutual extend.
In the live drop-in pool when at least eight verified people are online.
Selfie and liveness payloads are deleted within one day of the verification decision.
Dating apps are the only software where the product wants you to fail.
Mainstream dating apps are designed around a quiet contradiction. They charge you a monthly fee, which means their revenue depends on you not finding what you came for. The longer you stay, the better their numbers look.
So the product optimizes for time-on-app: a profile feed long enough to scroll for hours, a DM tab that fills with greetings that go nowhere, push notifications that bait you back. The first real signal about another human — actually seeing and hearing them — is deferred until you’re sitting at a bar wondering if the photos were five years old. By then the cost of bailing feels social, not neutral.
We started with a different question. What if the product was the conversation? Not the swipe deck, not the message tab, not the algorithmic feed. Just a twelve-minute video call between two verified people, with private decisions revealed only on mutual sparks. Pay once, and we never bill you again unless you take a long break with a partner and decide to come back.
The point of a dating product should be to help you leave with someone. Anything else is a trap dressed up as a feature.
Trust is what makes a twelve-minute conversation worth showing up for. So we built verification, vouches from people who actually know you, structured reliability signals, and a moderation team that responds to safety reports within an hour. That is the floor. The conversation is the product.
We charge once. Then we want you to leave.
Subscription dating apps profit while you stay alone. We don’t. Pay $99 once when you sign up. We never bill you again unless you take a long break with a partner and decide to come back. That’s the deal.
