nothing bonds two strangers like knowing 400 people voted on whether they should bone

Ex-Tinder Exec Launches Dating App Where Strangers Vote On Your Love Life

Former Tinder executive Taru Kapoor launched Rivet in the US on Oct 8, a dating app where volunteer 'matchers' vote on whether two strangers are compatible. The app raised $10.5 million in seed funding and gives users a few pre-vetted matches at a time instead of an endless swipe pile. Matchers earn 'karma currency' for successful pairings, redeemable for perks, cash rewards or gift cards — messaging someone without a community match costs 1,000 karma points, and a 3,000-point pack sells for $9.99.
