(This is a re-post of one of our popular ideas from 2020. You can read more of our original ideas in our archive.)
Problem: Given the extreme distancing of COVID-19, it’s hard to go on dates! See this piece by The Guardian.
Solution: A gamified, virtual dating app. It could still be swipe-based but once matched, an individual is allowed to go on an immediate date in one of the many virtual categories available on the app. The photo below describes some of these categories: “Videogame Dates (e.g. Battleship, Go, Chess, Checkers, etc.), Netflix and Chill w/ distance, Phone Call Date, and/or 2-person Bookclubs.” All of these virtual dates would be built into the app.
Monetization: Affiliate marketing or having people pay for premium features such as more options for virtual dates that are built into the platform.
