Over 40% of heterosexual and 65% of homosexual relationships begin online. These online matchmakers make up the $5B dating services industry within the United States. Yet, this is nothing compared to the USA's dating experiences market. Gen-Z collectively spent over $11B on dates in 20193, and estimates show that the average American will spend almost the same amount on college as they will on dating in their lifetime, $121k4. As those in Gen-Z age and enter serious relationships, the demand for dating experiences increases.
Official's founder & CEO, Zac Stern, points out: "Everyone wants to be the "perfect" couple; be it the couple that goes on the best dates, takes the cutest photos, and has the hottest sex. I realized that there is nothing out there for couples to help them be better partners." From this realization, Official is born.
Official offers couples the dating experiences they want and the tools they need to build a successful relationship. The app allows couples to swipe on curated dates, post their experiences, and learn more about each other, all while having fun.
Official is giving away a 6-night, 7-day trip for two to Cabo to celebrate the launch. The trip will be given to the most active couple on Official between launch and March 31st.
Download the Official App and start swiping through date ideas.
People are having a more difficult time connecting with the people that matter most to them. There are plenty of apps to help people find each other, but very little to help them keep the person they are already with. Much of current social media is dedicated to content consumption instead of the original concept around "social."
Official uses therapy disguised as social media to create better relationships. The app launched on Valentine's Day of 2022, and now has over 1 Million downloads and 750K users around the world, and we are just getting started.
