The Startup Ideas Podcast · The blueprint to build a $340k/mo premium dating app · 16 Oct 2024 podcast

Yeah, cheap to launch, like so many distribution channels you can try to hack to get users. Like, although that's, you know, you could talk about retention of those users. But in general, I think there's like a lot more ways to try to get people to use your products.

And I think like, you know, like probably the top in the top five topics for people between like ages 18 and like 40 is like how to find a partner. So I think people are like, okay, like all the legacy, like wave of dating apps that have been around for the last like 10 to 20 years are feeling like increasingly like desperate and inefficient. So I think people are looking for new things.

I think like the, we want to do it completely on like offline IRL thing is cool, but I don't think like 100% practical. I do think there's going to continue to be like, you know, an interest in at least doing both things like looking on apps or online and then also doing a lot of the IRL stuff.

What would you add to it or, or change, change up about it as a married man?

I'm in... Okay, now I can... Lox Club, I have not.

Okay.

Yep.

I don't know. Honestly, that's probably... I don't know how I feel about the name. We can talk about names. I think names are pretty important, but I think it's actually a pretty good idea, to be honest.

and just cash flow don't raise money yeah I think that's the big thing now too which is like a lot of the bigger ones they obviously like went the like raise a bunch of venture money route and so they're kind of like locked into that path for the most part so you can like start again and obviously choose a path that is more sustainable and more profitable earlier on and then you like don't even really have to get that big to actually make it a good business for yourself and you can probably still sell it to somebody later

Yeah, and there's always buyers, I feel like, because the base for the existing products is going to continue to churn out. They're going to become irrelevant. But this is a perennial thing, and I don't think the online or digital version of it's going to go away. So I don't even feel like it's not super seasonal or trendy in any way. It's just like...

I kind of feel like it's like a little bit like restaurants, you know, restaurants are cool for like two or three years. And then they're like, you kind of need a new one to try. And like, maybe this is a little bit longer than two to three years because like to build up the network and then have the network effects, it's like valuable for longer.

But I do feel like it's probably not that much more than like five or 10 years, you know? So.

Yeah, of course.

Are you trying to make profiles up?

don't give away all my thoughts but okay go ahead it's basically like AI girlfriends and boyfriends but in those niches so oh boy okay yeah I know I know I had to say it it's okay it'll probably happen if it's like I mean I don't know okay just like use a generic app and make a character but I guess it's like I guess it's like wanting a therapist that like fits your you know preferences similarly

I believe that it is going to be an economic thing. What do you mean by that? Well, I believe that people are going to use it and a lot of money is going to be made with it. I don't know if it's going to be like a human improvement engine.

What is this tool you're using, Glimpse?

Nice. I'm always like surprised. I mean, I'm not surprised, but I don't think like my approach to ever making things is like, look at the trends and the search and like, you know, like it's like, that's super diligent.

Will definitely lead to outcomes. But I think it's like, it's kind of the opposite of getting inspiration from something you're observing or thinking or feeling or involved in. And I think for better or worse, I struggle to be inspired enough by data that I find alone.

What are you suggesting? Are you suggesting it's going to be even more popular? That's the tone of your... I think it's going to be as popular.
