DOT.LA - Kippo, a startup that makes a dating app for gamers was created by an ex-Wall Street trader and Raya engineer whose codes helped predict the success of stocks. But David Park said Kippo doesn't believe in algorithms. The dating app for gamers lets users sign up to create profiles where they can highlight their favorite games, astrology signs and their type of personality. Matched users can chat and play games with each other. Although it's free, there's a $9.99 premium version. Park, an avid gamer, said he thought gaming and dating were a perfect match. Gamers already loved to interact online. They don't want to play alone. Gaming with someone takes the pressure off of dating. It's a shared experience. Last year, Kippo raised a $2M seed funding. It's using the cash to revamp the app. with the emphasis on 'experience'.
