TECH CABAL - South African startup, Boardroom, offers a dating platform tailored for professionals seeking long-term relationships. The founders, Wisani Shilumani and Serisha Barrat, envision a space where users can find partners who align with their professional ambitions. The app differentiates itself by verifying users against their LinkedIn profiles and requiring them to apply for access. The platform emphasizes meaningful connections, so aimless swiping is replaced with required messaging for each match, and AI helps deter vulgar language. The team plans to expand to major South African cities and then to London and the USA.
