Three tips for founders
- Own your project in your profile. It acts as a natural filter: the right people will stay.
- Block fixed slots in your calendar for dating, as you would for any important meeting.
- Avoid apps where intent is unclear: they consume more time than they give back.
One last thing
Information about third-party apps is based on their public descriptions and may change (features, pricing, admission criteria). Always check each app's official site before deciding.
