We are two Parsons students that love socializing with others. We've spent nearly four years trying to navigate the NY dating scene. Like many of our peers, we've turned to dating apps. This is when we realized dating apps were not the solution; in fact, quite the opposite. Companies such as Tinder, Hinge, and Raya exacerbate the issues of modern dating rather than solve them. We created Eden, a wellness-based dating app focused on connections. With Eden, we've removed the commodification and gamification in dating apps with two main systems, Proximity Match and Match Delay. We are humanizing the digital experience of online dating!
