Company / App Name: Festar

Twitter – https://twitter.com/festar_jp (Japanese only)

What does it do?

Festar matches users based on mutual interests and sets them up for a real time 10 minute chat. Users can get chatting with potential matches right away, and decide whether to mutually like each other after the 10 minutes is up.

Why do we need it?

Most dating apps are heavily based on picking through profiles, taking the perfect selfie, and crafting the perfect pick up line, all in hopes of getting to chat with someone. Festar is a “reverse Tinder”- chat first and then mutually match

Who is it for?

– People who enjoy meeting people who they share common interests with
– People who would rather just start talking than pick and choose over profiles
– People tired of the same old looks based dating apps
– People who love to chat

What makes it stand out from the crowd?

1. Connections based on hobbies and things you both love – not based on profile pics
2. Chat first, then decide whether you mutual like each other
3. Real time matching with other online users
4. Meet new people from all around the world

What’s next?

In 2016, we plan on doubling down to bring Festar’s matching rate up to 90% (from the current 75%) and aim to bring in 100,000 users from all around the world.
