DAILY HIVE – Mar 25 – Snack is a recently launched video dating app that combines the matching algorithms of dating platforms like Tinder with the ability to stream in real-time, like Instagram or TikTok. Vancouver-based founder Kimberly Kaplan came across a TikTok video of someone essentially putting out a dating ad for themselves. There was the hashtag for "single" in the caption, which showed 7B more "single" hashtags being used. "I had this realization that a video-first dating app is going to be the next wave of dating," said Kaplan. Snack has just secured $3.5M USD in pre-seed investment, which Kaplan is using to expand the 10-person team with at least five more hires in the next month or two, market the app to broaden reach, and make the app available for Android, not just iPhone. Snack allows users to upload videos, where people can then like each other's video posts.
