Seedrs success DatePlay launched its dating app on Tuesday, just in time for the romantic holiday, Valentine’s Day. The company was founded by The Apprentice runner-up Vana Koutsomitis.
As previously reported, DatePlay’s free app users will notably have all benefits of the dating and gaming concept while premium users will be able to access other features including increased messaging, messaging into new locations, invitations to exclusive events and more. Vana stated:
“The difference between DatePlay and the others is that we add an element of fun to the dating experience by integrating games into the interface. Tinder can engage you for short periods of time but once you have enough matches and once you’ve swiped left and right enough times, you start to get a little bit crazy. You’re just like, over it.”
During its funding round on Seedrs, DatePlay secured £219,570. The app currently has nearly 30,000 users signed up. Sharing their excitement for DatePlay’s app milestone, the Seedrs team tweeted:
