Limited to 50 members. Lock in lifetime access and be part of building something that is changing how people connect — before the world knows about it.
A Different Kind of Early Access:
Instead of raising from traditional investors right away, we are offering founding memberships to people who believe in what we are building. You get lifetime value. We get the fuel to grow. This is not a transaction. It is the beginning of something.
The iOS and Android apps launches June 19th, 2026. The 50 people in this Founder's Circle are the ones who were here before that day.
More Than a Dating App:
Validate is a relationship and community platform built for intentional connection. We believe real connections start with real people — not endless swiping. Dating is the entry point. But wherever you are in life — single, taken, or simply looking for your people — there is something here for you.
We launched in October 2025 in New York City. The iOS and Android app launches June 19th, 2026. We are building deep community here first, then expanding to other cities.
I downloaded Tinder in 2014. Sophomore year of college, when the app was still new and so was I. For someone as introverted as I was, it felt like someone had unlocked a door I didn't know existed. Suddenly I could see the world around me — the people, the connections, the possibilities. Technology was doing what it was supposed to do: enriching my life.
Twelve years and countless apps later, that feeling is completely gone.
Recently I was leaving my college alumni event when I noticed a kid who had just graduated, walking out with his father by his side. In that moment I felt the weight of what is missing. An entire generation of people who do not know how to find their people. Who survived COVID isolation, inherited a broken social landscape, and are still trying to figure out who they are and where they belong.
Validate exists for that kid. For the person exhausted by swiping. For everyone who deserves to be seen as a human being, not a data point on someone else's engagement metrics.
This is a movement to put people back at the center of technology. The 50 people who join this Founder's Circle are helping us build that bridge.
