Why does this founder had to add the comment about spaiosexual girl? Her question was vaild, he could have nicely replied or ignored. But someone claiming to be so intelligent to use hinge for sales still can't hype himself without making derogatory remarks about someone.  
  
 Do we lose humanity as we attain success?

What is up with BLR founders and Dating apps Obsession lately 😂- Grapevine

Recently I was talking to a girl who was working a startup in BLR. She left the startup with some horrendous experiences. This startup was working from a startup hostel in BLR. Things she told me shook me. She was dating the founder.

So this founder who claims to be on his 2nd startup dates his own employees and then blackmails them.
The average age of his employees is 24. All these girls that he dates are not above 23/24

Apparently this guy has 2 court cases against him. One for fraud and one for a rape case. Both of them are not easily found online. He uses VC money to keep in under the hood.

The fraud case is about his first startup which was a stolen idea apparently. 

This guy’s whole life is fake.
He claims to be an IIT Madras dropout, but he's from some local college. 

There are rumours that one of the girls he dated tried to kill herself because he allegedly filmed them.

He also does not pay salaries for months to his employees but compensates by giving them expensive gifts.

He claims his parents are IAS officers but we checked and they are not. 

His last startup was around around AUTH and current one is around Fintech

Girls and boys stay away from working with such shady startups.

Interesting, the whole story is about unknown man with unknown startup. Thanks for such an insightful post.

As a founder, what's your craziest dating story on Tinder/Bumble/Hinge etc. 

I've spoken to a lot of founders who get 
- Resumes in their DM's 
- Follow up messages for job applications (God knows how 🫠) 
- Enquiries for FT positions 
- Get subtle questions to know if they are hiring 

Is this a very common thing amongst founders?

Are you a founder actively using dating apps?

Online dating is finally losing it's charm. Acc to Nikita Bier, apps like Instagram will become the de-facto dating apps.

dating apps made mid women feel they hot asf

Saw an acquaintance using bumble. The men in  profiles literally look highly successful, From IIT, IIM, NIFT , Founder and what not.

It was really raining overqualified guys on the platform.

Felt like real waste for the first time and thought that hot shot guys like them couldnt land a date, a commoner is out of question.

What do you all say guys ???? That platform instantly makes me introspect where I failed in life.

Ridiculous standards in dating apps.

Bumble to Revolutionize Dating with AI-Powered Features

Journalist

Got this question from Twitter/ X, but Grapevine is a better place for it

People who have “given up” on dating and relationships. Why?

Takes too much time to really build rapport and trust with an individual. Especially after coming out of a longish relationship, it feels too daunting to build up history with someone new all over again

Growth And Strategy

Which dating app works in Bengaluru?
I am an average looking guy and single.
Honestly just wanna like company of someone.
I tried bumble and tinder but not getting matches (both premium). I don't know why.
Feeling a lot lonely nowadays.

Dating life in Bengaluru

That’s your problem, you’re an “average looking guy”! 
  
 Follow the two rules 
 1. Be attractive 
 2. Don’t be unattractive

- Dating apps like Tinder revolutionized courtship by making it easy and fun to sift through potential dates with a simple swipe.
- Despite their initial success, user disillusionment has set in, with many finding the apps frustrating and overwhelming.
- The number of people using dating apps has dwindled, and companies like Bumble and Match Group have seen their market values plummet.
- Younger adults are particularly weary, with many turning to offline alternatives like in-person events and social activities.
- Dating apps are exploring new strategies, including AI and niche markets, to lure users back, but the future remains uncertain.

100 likes and I am going to breakdown both his products. Find issues and reply to his LinkedIn post and tell him to hire someone to fix his shit

I am building dating app only for IT people. Give me suggestions/features. Thanks

Inherently it would be skewed with male populations. Better idea, make app for Hrs and nurses, traditionally these areas are having high female %. Take money from IT people to access this database

Instagram recommended this probably after my grapevine questions.

Nonetheless their content is very interesting. Has someone tried it?
What's that they are doing right or not right?

Customer research: Aisle dating app

Is it just mine or is everyone’s LinkedIn blowing up with absolute crap. Like the most basic thing people are posting and making it sound like they discovered something huge or they’ve found some crazy insights. 

Everyone is trying to build their own LinkedIn brand and it’s just become frustrating. 

A lot of recruiters/founders still put out hiring posts on LinkedIn 

Some funny posts - 

- All founders acting like they’ve achieved something huge by being on the Forbes/times now/etc 40 under 40 list 
- Today someone posted about the business model of Shyamji Chole Bhature 
- People copy pasting the same fake stories

LinkedIn Rant

The day I don't have to open LinkediN any more to look for jobs, is the day I'll have accomplished all I need to in life 🙏🏼

Like i bought bumble premium for 200rs and my profile was complete for almost 80 percentage. 

Still not even a single woman matched with me.

Well dating app gave me insecurity 💀

Why is it like that?

You can switch off dating right from the start and keep it strictly professional
