kupid. dating, but loud.
we turned a lecture hall into the wildest dating experiment Gen Z's ever seen.
The Origin Story
it started with a halloween jester costume.
i ran around campus in full gear—masked up, handing out flyers, scaring students, and starting rumors—all to promote one question:
what if we hosted blind dating shows in our dorm lecture hall?
no team. no budget. just chaos, mystery, and a vision.
and somehow, it worked.
More Than a Show
but KUPID isn't just a viral stunt.
and it's not just a show.
it's something bigger.
we're building the first dating platform designed for Gen Z—one that starts with real-world chemistry and brings it to life through a digital experience that actually feels alive.
the show is the spectacle.
the app is the heartbeat.
together, they form a loop of energy, attention, and emotion.
we're not just making matches—we're building moments people want to be part of.
because connection shouldn't start with a swipe.
How It Works
KUPID is a blind dating show, hosted live in college lecture halls.
one girl, five guys, and hundreds of students watching, screaming, choosing who stays and who goes.
it’s chaotic, vulnerable, hilarious, and kind of magical.
there are rounds.
wild questions.
mini-games.
crowd reactions.
everything you’d expect from reality TV—except it’s happening on your campus, in real time.
The Viral Loop
after the show, the clips explode online.
TikTok. Reels. Campus group chats.
people share it. argue about it. ask how they can get on it.
during the show, they download the app.
The App
the KUPID app is where everything continues.
students vote on matches. submit to be on stage. message each other.
the app knows who you cheered for, who you picked, and who you saw live.
it uses that data—plus behavior, voice intros, and chemistry tracking—to match you with people who feel right. not just swipe-right.
we’re building:
KUPID is the only dating product where the app and the show are part of the same system.
one builds the other. content becomes users. users become contestants.
every piece of attention leads somewhere.
Traction So Far
on campus, KUPID isn’t just a product. it’s a presence.
being in the show means something. it’s talked about. screenshotted. turned into memes
it’s part of the social fabric—not outside of it.
and that’s what every dating app has missed.
Why Now
Gen Z isn’t tired of dating.
they’re tired of apps that feel like dating simulators.
they want:
KUPID gives them all of that.
The Vision
we’re not competing with dating apps.
we’re replacing them with something better.
something people want to share.
something people want to show up for.
something people actually want to use.
The Ask
we’re raising capital to:
we’ve built the energy. now we’re building the infrastructure to catch it.
The Moment
KUPID is messy. loud. emotional. unpredictable.
just like dating.
just like Gen Z.
and for the first time in years, students are excited to put themselves out there again.
if that’s something you want to be part of—let’s talk.
