Launching city by city · Waitlist open
Dating for people building something.
Dating apps are built for people with predictable lives and endless free time. Entrepreneurs and gig workers have neither. Flirt & Found matches you on ambition and availability — with every member ID-verified — and is designed to end in an actual date.
- ✓ 100% ID-verified members — no catfish, no bots, no exceptions
- ✓ Profiles that lead with what you're building, not just photos
- ✓ Matches expire in 7 days unless a date is booked — dates, not chats

Why Flirt & Found
Four things no other dating app combines
Verified-only membership
Every member passes a government ID + live selfie check before they can message anyone. The big apps make verification an optional badge. Here it’s the price of entry — trust is the brand, not a paid extra.
Ambition-first profiles
What you’re building leads your profile: your business, your hustle, and your stage — idea, side gig, full-time, or scaling. You match with people who understand why you were answering messages at midnight.
Schedule-aware matching
Set your real availability pattern — 9-to-5, nights, weekends, chaotic founder hours — and only match with people whose lives actually fit yours. No more great conversations killed by opposite shifts.
Dates, not chats
A match has 7 days to turn into a booked date, in person or on video, or it expires. Date planning is built in — and when you’re ready to split the bill, it can run right through PAID.
How it works
From signup to first date in four steps
Verify once
Government ID + live selfie match. Takes a few minutes, happens before you can message anyone — and everyone you meet did it too.
Lead with your build
Your profile opens with what you’re building and your stage, plus your real weekly availability pattern.
Get curated matches
Three matches a day, filtered by ambition, stage, and schedules that actually overlap. No infinite swipe pile.
Book the date
Pick a plan inside the app within 7 days. Show up, split the bill through PAID if you like, and see where it goes.
Matches expire unless a date is booked within 7 days. It sounds strict — it’s the point. No pen pals, no ghosting threads, no matches that live in your inbox for six months. Flirt & Found sells dates, not conversations.
Who it’s for
Built for the people the other apps forgot
If your calendar runs on client bookings, shift swaps, delivery windows, or launch deadlines, your dating life needs matching that starts with your schedule — not one that pretends you’re free every Friday at 7.
Try it: pick your schedule pattern
With a classic 9-to-5, you’ll match with other weekday professionals and weekend-free builders — think after-work coffee at 6:30 and Saturday morning markets, not 2 p.m. Tuesday maybes.

Questions
Before you join
Is every member really ID-verified?
Yes — that’s the rule the whole product is built on. Every member completes a government ID check with a live selfie match before they can message anyone, on every plan including Free. If we ever change what verification includes, we’ll say exactly what changed.
I’m not a founder. Is this still for me?
Yes. “Building something” covers gig work, freelancing, a trade, a creative practice, or a career with a side project. If your schedule doesn’t fit the 9-to-5 mold and you want to date people who get that, you belong here.
Why do matches expire after 7 days?
Because endless chatting is where modern dating goes to die. Seven days is enough time to pick a coffee spot — and the deadline protects your time. If life genuinely gets in the way, either person can note it and rematch later.
When and where does it launch?
We’re launching city by city so matches stay dense and real — a dating app with nobody near you helps no one. Join the waitlist with your city: the cities with the most founding members open first, and waitlist members get invited before the public.
What does the founding-member lock actually get me?
If you’re among the first 1,000 members in the founding cohort, your Founder’s Circle price is $14.99/mo for as long as your membership stays active — instead of $29.99/mo. For women, Founder’s Circle is free for the entire first year, and the $14.99 founding rate is what you move to after that. Your waitlist pass code is how we’ll recognize you at signup.
Why is it free for women at launch?
Every dating app lives or dies on its balance — and apps that launch lopsided empty out fast. So during the launch window, women get the paid tiers free, and everyone still joins free after ID verification. Paying for open messaging also means men who reach out are serious, which cuts the low-effort spam most women drown in on other apps. It’s a launch benefit, not a permanent rule — founding members keep their locked rates either way.
How does splitting the bill through PAID work?
Flirt & Found is built by the same team as PAID, the payments app for gig workers and entrepreneurs. When a date is booked, you’ll have the option to split the check through PAID — optional, and only if both of you want to.
Your next date should understand your calendar.
Join the founding waitlist today and lock Founder’s Circle at $14.99/mo for life — free for women for the first year — before the first 1,000 spots are gone.
