TECH CRUNCH - Sep 21 - Dattch is a dating app exclusively for lesbians, bisexual and/or bi-curious women, designed by a female team. The app has just closed a £100,000/$160,000 angel/small seed round. "The gay female dating scene is badly served," says founder and CEO Robyn Exton. “Nobody was thinking about a female user, and actually how do women behave? What kind of triggers are they looking for?" So what are gay women looking for? Firstly, lots and lots of photos. Photos of where you live, what you wear, things you like, places you want to go. Dattch is taking its design inspiration from Pinterest. The app’s other focus is a text-based messaging feature.

There are few women iDating executives. Which is quite strange really. You'd think the business of love would be well populated by women. There are no major stand-out lesbian dating sites. This is indeed a surprising and sizable niche market looking for a leader.
