What inspired David to start Inner Circle?
Yes, well everything starts with a company with the problem you personally have and at that moment in 2012 I was single, I was living in London And it was for me difficult to meet somebody at work, but also in the pub with the English women were not really approachable. So I thought, let's give it a try online. At that moment, it was only websites. There was no Tinder launched yet. Well, at least it didn't have the big breakthrough. So I was going on different websites. But I mean, if you looked at the pictures, it was most of the times too good to be true. And if it's too good to be true... It's too good to be true. And also the names like Butterfly69. I mean, it was really difficult to actually find a normal, to have a normal chat conversation. And it took me hours.
And then in the end, you went on the actual date and it was not as a success. So I thought I want to create something that actually I will use. and who do I want to meet and that was for me like the big the big turn around like I want to meet somebody that in my inner circle that is like me like minded somebody that shares the same lifestyle same values and how can I do that and that was the beginning of first the website and later on the app Do you have a first date horror story? Or just the pattern that you saw where you were, I don't know, matching with or communicating with women and maybe they weren't the right age or the right type. Did you have your moment where you said, okay, I need a different dating app?
Yeah, there's quite some horror stories you have to go through and you learn. For example, in my opinion, you should not chat too long and go offline relatively soon because the magic happens in real life. But if you are chatting with somebody, you're going to draw a picture of how this person looks like. And that's based on the photos.
