01 / The Problem

Swipe fatigue, and no peace of mind

Dating apps optimise for time spent swiping, not for relationships. Matches are made on photos in a split second, conversations fizzle, and people looking for something serious have to wade through people who aren't.

There is also a safety and privacy cost: public profiles, unvetted strangers and unsolicited messages are a big reason many people in Accra and Nairobi avoid apps entirely.

Endless browsing

Hundreds of profiles, very few real conversations, and even fewer dates.

Appearance first

What actually predicts compatibility (values, life goals, lifestyle) is hidden behind photos.

Low trust

Unverified profiles and unwanted messages make people feel unsafe.

Awkward first steps

Even after a match, planning a good first date is left to chance.

02 / The Solution

A better way to meet, with peace of mind

Minutes 2 Match replaces the swipe feed with a matchmaker's approach. A 5-minute Vibe Check captures what you want and who you are. Each week, members who opt in get one thoughtful introduction with a note on why they might click.

Contact only happens when both people say they are interested. For people who prefer to meet in person, curated small-group events with capped numbers and balanced ratios offer another way in.
