LINKEDIN – Thursday, the London-based dating start-up, has officially launched in its 100th city – a major milestone for the company. Originally launched in 2021, Thursday set out to change online dating by limiting activity to just one day a week, reducing dating fatigue and encouraging real-world meetups. The company is now changing its focus toward Thursday Events, offering weekly ticketed experiences across the globe to foster more real-life connections. Co-founder Matthew McNeill Love reflected on the milestone, noting the growing importance of real human connection in an increasingly automated world. "The bigger AI gets, the more valuable real human connection becomes," he shared. "They're not in conflict – they're growing together."
