Hinge創業者、AIでスワイプを廃止すべく$18Mを調達
Hingeの創業者Justin McLeodは、スワイプに代わる厳選された紹介を提供するAIデーティングサービスOvertoneのために$18Mを調達した。これは、業界が親密性におけるAIの役割をどう捉えるかについての大きな転換を示している。
hinge founder justin mcleod raised $18m for overtone, an ai dating service that replaces swiping with curated introductions. funded by match group and firstmark, the service uses voice and ai to create quality matches instead of endless feeds. this approach targets the 78% of users feeling burnt out, signaling a shift away from gamified dating mechanics toward higher-quality, ai-mediated connections. the company expects to launch later this year in select locations.
