The apps' best is 12%.

The mutual-smile mechanic produces an order-of-magnitude better conversion than swipe-and-text. Here's the math, by month.

★ Eight = ~10× the category
★ Why now

Dating apps are broken.
Eight is the fix.

The big four lost 40M users in 2024. Gen Z is leaving en masse. The category is begging for a reset.

Eight is the only app where the chat is earned,not given. That single mechanic flips the entire category economics: less time wasted, less ghosting, more matches that turn into real dates.

We're not trying to be a better Tinder. We're building what comes after Tinder,the post-swipe video love app for the generation that grew up on FaceTime.

★ Global market
€8.5B

Online dating, 2025. Growing 7.4% / year despite the swipe-fatigue narrative.

★ Active users
350M+

Across the four largest dating apps. 60% report they want video-first.

★ Eight's slice
€800M

EU + UK addressable. Single-and-looking, video-comfortable, 22-38.

★ The opening
3 cities

Lisbon, Porto, London. Berlin and Paris next. Each city = a self-contained network effect.
