Background

Why we made Date Drop

Dating apps of the past decade have been built to keep you swiping, not to find you a partner. We swipe through more faces in an hour than our ancestors met in a lifetime — and somehow we're lonelier than ever. It's no wonder we're all exhausted.

And the stakes are high — the quality of your relationships is the single best predictor of the quality of your life.[1] College is your best shot at finding them: four years surrounded by people at the same stage of life, figuring out who they are and what they care about.

We built Date Drop to make the most of it. We get to know your values, your goals, what you want out of life, and match you based on that. One thoughtful match each week. No swiping.
