As an iOS developer myself who's pondered many times developing a dating app, I don't think $10,000 is enough imo. It might be enough for one small local area but expanding will require a ton money money. I clicked your profile and went to your site. It mentions "The beta test is for SF Bay Area, straight, singles."
I think more targeted niche areas might be better - gay guys dating, fetish specific dating, religion specific dating etc.
$10,000 won't get you far in SF Bay Area imo. Cinema pre-roll ads are very expensive. Also, since this post is about ethical anti-design, you might end up going in the unethical territory to make your money back based on how much money is required to be spent.
Sorry for being negative Nancy.
- mleonhard 6y agoCan you share some concrete data? Also, why do you think it would be cheaper to market to a niche? I expect that launching in the SF area will be easy for two reasons: 1. The area has a lot of people with extra money who already use dating apps. 2. A lot of people in the area like to try new apps. I'm saving SF until the app is more polished. I don't want to tarnish the brand here.
