Our take
If you're looking for any kind of unconventional connection on a dating app, you might recognise the feeling of burnout. Major apps cater mostly to heteronormative ideals, where monogamy, long term relationships and marriage are the ideal, or else are designed solely for hookups. Feeld is a dating app for people who are looking for something else.
Feeld was launched quietly in 2014 and has steadily grown, exploding in popularity only recently as part (and possibly a driver) of a revolution of sorts, where people have begun to feel a lot more free about exploring sex, kink and non-monogamy. In the dating app landscape, it is still a relatively small and young player, raking in a fairly small proportion of a market estimated at about $8 billion in 2022. However, it faces little direct competition in its niche, is wildly popular with its user base, and has a lot of room to grow as sexual attitudes continue to change.
Feeld has recently named a new CEO, Ana Kirova, the inspiration for the startup (part of its appeal is its lovely origin story). She wants to continue to build on its foundations of inclusivity, as Feeld looks to continue to invest in the user experience of the app and broaden its user base.
