Co-founders of tbc (which stands for 'to be confirmed’) team up with Scotland’s top lifestyle influencer, Lois White, to celebrate the app’s launch in the capital this month.
Designed to get users offline and on dates in real life without the endless swiping, users choose when and where they would like to go on a date and are presented with others who are also free to meet then.
Uniquely, every profile will feature three voice questions which potential matches will have to answer in order to connect. If the feeling is mutual, tbc arranges the date in minutes, at a great venue the next day – carefully selected from a curated list of Edinburgh’s best.
Co-Founder Ben Hanney, comments:
“After a pilot run in London we selected Edinburgh as our first official launch city. Having studied here I knew it would be the perfect size to launch in and build our first audience with. Edinburgh has not disappointed us so far! So many singles have responded to our initial marketing and launch activities across the city by downloading tbc already, ready to start going out on real-life dates next week.”
“The time is ripe for a new approach”, adds Co-founder Niluka Kavanagh.
"Having been single myself, I know how draining online dating can be. It’s now been over 10 years since Tinder launched, so we’re really excited to bring something new to Edinburgh. One that puts the joy back into dating, so people spend more time out on dates than on dating apps. tbc aims to do just that.”
tbc is free to download now on the App Store and Google Play Store. Launching first in Edinburgh, tbc will be rolled out across the UK.
