Startup one-liner:
Dating Made Simple
Problem the startup solves:
Dating fatigue, dating depression, ghosting, security concerns on dating apps, inappropriate or harassing messages or images being sent on dating website or apps, catfishing, fees, pricing, and just the general anxiety and hopelessness being felt by users of current dating apps and websites.
The way that Qeysh operates is by providing users with a set number of matches that fight their deal breaker criteria. We don’t make users fill out long profiles, and don’t allow users to message other users until they have actually went on a date (in person or virtual). Qeysh encourages users to meet people directly to get to know them instead of judging a book by its cover or by picking potential partners based on how good they are are creative writing. Qeysh aims to take the world of dating back to the time of “slow dating.” The founders have taken a user above profits approach and have promised to keep prices well below the current market and Qeysh promises to have no additional fees anywhere on the website. All Qeysh pricing will be upfront.
Progress and Current Status:
Currently, Qeysh is looking for 1000 beta users. Qeysh has an a beta testing phase that will last until Sept 2023 with a full launch shortly after. We are currently using a website and will launch the app at the time of the full launch. We will be launching a Kickstarter
What is an Inspiring Story about the Startup?:
Qeysh started as an idea in 2015. Founder Kelly Williams was watching her sister go on dating app after dating app with no results before finally deleting them altogether. Qeysh was designed by interviewing thousands of singles and creating their wish list of a dating app/website. The singles that were interviewed were able to describe all the things that made daters fatigued, irritated, and angry. Based on the wish list, Qeysh was created with the actual dater in mind.
What is a Company the Startup Looks Up to, and Why?:
Qeysh admires Coffee Meets Bagel. The founders of that dating app thought outside the box and had a unique approach to the dating industry. We admire their startup spirit, their ability to became a major player in the dating industry, and the fact that they didn’t compromise their principals. They have expanded into other things and they have stayed on mission.
The Company in Four Years Will Be…
In four year, Qeysh will be the dating industry standard. Qeysh hopes to restore human connection back to the dating industry and hope that we will start a trend. In four years, we will have 5,000,000 users nationwide, 25,000 marriages/partnerships, and become the dating website/app for anyone looking for a serious relationship without the games.
