Company mission
To take online dating offline.
Our take
Noticing the oddity of online dating apps, which encourage users to use their phones to find human interaction or connection, Breeze is a new dating app that actively organises, for its users, offline dates.
Other dating apps earn money by making their users screen-addicted, showing ads or selling ‘premium’ subscription. In response to this, Breeze has established partners in different cities and sets people up on dates, charging each party a small amount, but both will get a free drink at the venue. In a short period, Breeze has organised tens of thousands of dates across around 15 different cities with over 100 established partners and counting.
Initial funding rounds were to be used to accelerate growth but recent pre-seed funding is being invested into gathering more insight about the right marketing channels to use and how to effectively scale abroad, expanding its international reach.
