DateProof

DateProof is a mobile + web dating platform built around verification and follow-through, not endless swiping. Users can only message after completing lightweight “Proofs” that signal seriousness: a short video intro, a verified availability window, and a refundable “show-up deposit” (optional) held by the platform. Matches are created around real scheduling constraints (location, time blocks, and preferred date types) so chats quickly convert into plans. After a date, both people leave private feedback on reliability and safety (not looks), which influences future visibility. The app is blunt about what it is: if you want casual browsing and dopamine swipes, this isn’t it. It’s designed for people tired of flakes, catfish, and pen-pal chats. Monetization comes from subscriptions (higher visibility, more weekly proofs) and a small fee on held deposits.
