"Tinder is like our dirty cousin..." In this episode of On The Rocks, I am chatting with the founders of the New Orleans-based app The Meetery! What started out as an inside joke about how awful dating apps are led friends Bayleigh Frickey and Stephanie Hilton to design an app that aims to help users make real love connections by replacing awkward online chatting with 15-minute face-to-face ‘first impression’ dates. It was so great to talk to these badass female founders & learn more about their business "relationship," what lead them to create a dating app, their thoughts on traditional dating apps, and more!
