Fireside Chat With Colin Hodge, President of DOWN Dating App

Posted on September 5, 2024

LTR – Colin Hodge, President and Co-Founder of DOWN Dating App, shares the fascinating journey of creating the app, originally known as Bang with Friends. He discusses how the app was born from a spontaneous idea, quickly became a viral sensation, and underwent significant transformations, including a rebrand and a challenging removal from the Apple App Store. Despite these hurdles, Colin emphasizes perseverance and staying true to their mission of promoting sex-positive, shame-free dating. He also highlights the app's evolution, including innovative features like Snap Match, which connects users internationally for real-time flirting and cultural exchange.

The August LTR was kindly sponsored by ParshipMeet Group, RealMe, Dating Through Curiosity, along with Courtland Brooks and Matchmaker.com
