Company mission
To empower people of all genders to proudly embrace their sexuality, to let go of shame and inhibitions and to take control of their personal journeys of sexual discovery.
Our take
Killing Kittens was set up in 2005, before female-centric dating apps like Bumble had become popular. Its highly publicised parties are designed to encourage, liberate, build confidence & allow experimentation all within a safe environment. As well as this, Killing Kitten's social platform puts women at the forefront and is a space to build romantic and social connections.
In the past, sextechs have either been assigned to the lifestyle business category or, alternatively, completely shunned due to restrictions around funding "vice". However, today the sextech market is firmly on the rise with the market expected to forecast around $169Billion by 2026.
Killing Kittens will be focusing on increasing brand awareness and developing its technology in order to increase its membership & retention rate.
