Philadelphia startup entrepreneurs Elodie Clowes and Amanda Carr recently released a new app called “fuse” that aims to modernize dating by digitizing romantic date settings, writes Ryan Mulligan of PHL Inno.
The app stands out from traditional dating apps by allowing users' friends and family to directly help choose a potential date.
Web apps are accessible online and can be downloaded directly to the home screen of a mobile device by users without going through an app store.
Clowes and Carr, both 24, were inspired to create the app after seeing friends their age getting bored with dating apps and becoming obsessed with the dating lives of their single friends.
Through the app, daters can create a typical dating profile, complete with photos and responses to prompts. Friends and family members that users choose to bring along, known as fusers, can reject or approve the profile or share other profiles with the dater. The dater can then decide whether or not to match with another dater.
“Fuse allows single people to act as matchmakers, but also allows people in relationships to meet the needs of modern [dating] “It's the culture,” Carr said.
