THE AGE - Australian entrepreneurs are reviving in-person dating events and developing new tech solutions. Despite 3M Australians using dating apps, user dissatisfaction has prompted local startups to offer alternatives. Humpday, founded by Charlotte Vieira and Kara Zervides, combines app-based matching with weekly in-person events. CitySwoon hosts ~600 speed dating events annually, boasting a high mutual match rate. Spoony, launching in July, connects individuals with disabilities or chronic illnesses for social connections. Red Flags, an upcoming app, aims to foster deeper connections and support relationships beyond initial matches.
