SCREENSHOT - Hulah, founded by Heather Hopkins, tackles safety in online dating with features like background checks and social proof, requiring men to be endorsed by women. Motivated by her personal trauma, Hopkins created Hulah after reports revealed a 175% rise in dating app-linked police cases from 2017 to 2021 and that one-third of surveyed women had experienced sexual assault through online platforms. Hulah's safety measures include curated profiles, video chats, and filtering out harmful users.
