I’m building Vesta (working name) — a dating app for accomplished, degree-holding women who prefer meaningful, cozy connection over nightlife. Think LinkedIn + Netflix + Raya: verified careers, lifestyle alignment (homebody vs. nightlife), and curated/exclusive membership.
Problem
Ambitious women get flooded with low-effort matches; dating apps optimize for engagement, not compatibility.
The market is noisy (swipe fatigue, scams, ghosting), and there’s room for a quality-first, women-first product.
What Vesta is
Profiles that surface career, goals, and lifestyle (not just photos).
AI + graph matching that weights ambition, goals, and homebody lifestyle.
Built-in “cozy date” experiences: co-watch, cook-alongs, book swaps.
Invite/waitlist + curation to keep quality high.
Current status
Concept + product spec completed. UX sketches & three logo concepts ready. No paid users yet — pre-MVP. I’m looking for the right co-founder and core team to build a strong, women-first launch.
Who I’m looking for
Female co-founder (brand & community lead) — built communities, luxury/lifestyle branding, or women-first products; willing to take equity and bootstrap.
Early teammates: product designer, iOS/Android dev (React Native ok), backend (Node/GraphQL, Postgres), growth/partnerships (events, PR).
Advisors with dating / community experience are welcome.
AI: embeddings for compatibility + LLMs for conversation prompts.
Privacy & safety by design: verification, reporting, moderation.
Why now
Users are exhausted by superficial swiping and increasing safety concerns; niche, quality platforms are trending. We’re aiming to be the women-first, upscale alternative.
If you’re interested
DM me on Twitter: @your_handle_here (replace with your handle)
Email: yourname@yourdomain.com (replace with yours)
Or reply here and I’ll DM back.
Open to cofounder equity splits, vesting, and early contractor pay if needed. Happy to share the one-pager, brand sketches, and product roadmap with serious replies.
Thanks — looking forward to building something women actually trust for dating.
