Jon Pethke, CEO and Co-Founder of CoyAmore, The Dating App for Introverts
Here are some key points from the podcast transcript:
Guest John Pethke is the founder of CoyAmore, a new dating app designed for introverts.
Many existing apps can be overwhelming for introverts with constant notifications/messages. CoyAmore aims to provide a calmer experience.
The app has a unique matching algorithm based on users’ ranked love languages to find good compatibility.
One novel feature for introverts is a toggle for indicating interest in a date without having to directly ask the person.
As a first-time entrepreneur, Pethke has learned business is a rollercoaster – do thorough research and have patience.
Marketing is very hard for dating apps – connecting with communities and gaining word-of-mouth are crucial.
Dating app challenges include fake profiles, excessive filtering in photos, people seeking attention not relationships. New solutions could help.
Direct human interaction is fading from society with technology/busyness; shared activities like meals build bonds.
CoyAmore aims to help introverts date in a less overwhelming way. Thoughtful matching and features catered to them aim to provide a calmer experience.
In summary, CoyAmore is a dating app experiment seeking to solve common problems for introverts through smart design. Its founder hopes to facilitate more real dating and human connection.
