    Daters are screened and verified

    You both pay upfront to show commitment

    That’s actually quite intriguing. Seems like it’s a German startup and only available in Berlin? Maybe it’ll catch on and I’ve never heard of such a concept.

      I think it’s Dutch, but has recently expanded to Berlin. The scaling of the concept is probably a bit slow, since they need to partner up with local bars for the concept to work. But better slow and working than fast and predatory like Tinder. Instead of Silicon Valley’s “move fast and break things (and people)” maybe move slow and heal things are a better approach.
