hati

Okay business lovers, we've found something we can all relate to... Did we miss anything? 😂 #datewithhati #tech #startup #business #relationships

Why I’m Building an Advisory Board of hati Users, Not Investors, Tech Millionaires, or People with 30 years of 'experience' Over my career, I’ve been to more board meetings than years I’ve been alive, yet I can count on a single finger the ones that have been genuinely valuable. Most board meetings are: ❌ Full of people who just love the sound of their own voice. ❌ Packed with pointless questions that add no strategic value. ❌ A parade of humble brags about success, connections, and status. ❌ Everyone leaves patting themselves on the back—while nothing actually changes. I want to do something different—not just in dating but in how I build my company. 🔥 To get hati from 0 to 100, I don’t need stuffy professionals at the end of their careers, who think board positions are like Pokémons where you have to catch them all. I need people like me who understand the market through lived experience and have a passion to fix it. I DON'T CARE if you have no board experience. Hell, I DON'T CARE if you have no CV. What I DO CARE about is: ✔️ Actively dating and fed up with the apps. ✔️ Ready to be part of the solution, not just the rant. ✔️ Willing to challenge me and keep users first. ✔️ Have insights in marketing, product, operations, finance, or community building - or just lived experience navigating modern dating. ✔️ Bring passion, energy, and fresh ideas - and you think OUTSIDE THE DAMN UNIVERSE, not just the box. PLEASE DO NOT apply if: ❌ You just want a board title on your resume. ❌ You aren’t actually our target user. ❌ You love the sound of your own voice more than real solutions. ❌ You prefer endless debates over action. ❌ You haven’t even downloaded the app and used it. 👉 I want to build something real—are you the right person to join me or do you know someone who is? Please reach out to me. I really want to get this right.

We made it to #166 in the Apple Lifestyle charts. 🚀 Maybe it’s just a vanity metric. Maybe I shouldn’t care. But building a startup is like running a marathon, one that no one forces you to run, one where the finish line keeps moving, and one where most people quit before they ever see progress. You train. You push through the exhaustion. You deal with the pain. But what really matters is the mental endurance. Little things like this, no matter how insignificant they may seem, are like those crucial glucose gels. They give you a boost of energy to power through the next uphill battle. And then, just like that, we dipped back down to #200. That’s the reality of this journey, progress isn’t linear. You climb, you fall, you keep moving. So no, this number doesn’t define success. But I’ve learned to bank moments like this and treat them like my glucose gel, small but vital injections of energy and purpose.

❤️🔥 I Tried to Hire a Husband/ Long-Term Partner on LinkedIn - Here’s What Happened 💼💘 Just to be clear, I wasn’t actually trying to find my long-term partner or future husband on LinkedIn (although, if you’re him and you’re reading this, please slide into my DMs 😉- you've been MIA for way too long!). Instead, I was looking for people who are serious about finding their long-term partner and being someone else's. I know what you’re thinking: LinkedIn is a professional platform, not a dating app. But what has a bigger impact on your life and career than your long-term partner? 💡 In marketing, they say to go where your users spend their time. My users are professionals, and almost all of them have a LinkedIn profile. 📱 We spend so much time applying for jobs, carefully preparing for interviews and meeting expectations but do we ever ask if we meet the same standards in dating? Are we prepared to show up, commit, and be the ideal partner, just as we do in our careers? I wanted to flip that narrative and have raw, honest conversations about expectations, requirements, and commitment. After all, we don’t two-time our jobs, we don’t ghost our bosses, and we always show up for work—so why do we treat our partners any differently? Unfortunately, an hour later and only 58 applications submitted, LinkedIn took the job posting down because they claimed it wasn’t a “real job.” Funny, considering finding love is arguably harder than landing a dream job! 🎯 But isn’t being someone’s long-term partner one of the most important roles you’ll ever play? If you’re looking for a long-term partner—or, more importantly, looking to be someone’s long-term partner— and date like you mean business we’re still hiring. Download hati today 🚀❤️ P.s. What do you think of the job listing? What did I miss? What are the other important qualifications/ criteria for a long term partner?

🚨 FREE TRIP TO PARIS FOR FALLING IN LOVE?! 🚨 Yep, you read that right. In honour of hati finally going live this weekend, I’m giving the first couple who finds love on hati an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris – courtesy of me. Find real love. Pack your bags. Kiss under the Eiffel Tower. 🗼💋 Sounds better than another situationship, right? So if you’re ready for something real (and a cheeky Paris getaway, what a great ROI on a free app btw), download hati now. Because your hati-ly ever after might just start today. Tag your single friends. Spread the word. Love’s waiting. ❤️

💥 One day until launch. 💥 Our one and only hope? That you find someone who makes you forget dating apps exist. (Yes, even ours.) 💚

You aren't the problem, the system is. That's what we are here to fix.

Sorry our bad, we forgot jokes were meant to make us laugh, not cry in despair.
