Storey

Our story

The longest journey of my life was the 18 inches from my head to my heart. The path from thinking to embracing that my person was right in front of me.

It nearly cost me the love of my life. But it got me thinking: How many others miss love by those 18 inches? And what if there was a way to bridge the gap?

Problem

Current dating apps come in only two sizes and neither fits the market need. That's either fast but superficial or meaningful but time-consuming.

This either/or dilemma to choose between speed or substance has given the market a wandering eye.

To fully satisfy, the solution needs to be both fast and meaningful.

Solution

Find love through your story.

Storey is a voice dating app built on the belief that the shortest distance between two people is a story. And we've got the science to back it.

The Storey Method™

• Studies show that when you listen to a story, your brain waves sync with those of the storyteller
• It also superchargers your judgment, activating neurons that decipher motives and character
• Stories that best reveal compatibility start "in medias res" (midstory) where connection blooms

It's really simple

Our users match exclusively through voice notes so you can show your personality without pressure, spark conversations that lead somewhere, and get the real dating experience. All the makings of a meet-cute packed into an app.

Obviously, online dating isn't new. It's a multi-billion-dollar industry, it's the most profitable category of app, and it's now the most common way couples meet. It's only growing.

And yet, Google tells us that searches for dating have hit a five-year high, marriage rates are plummeting, and 45% of dating app users are fed up with the existing options. Clearly, something is not right.

Growth plan

In success, we'll roll out a three-pronged approach to monetization, and implement additional modes for friends and networking/jobs.

Where we are now

Since getting accepted into a competitive incubator, we've conducted market proof, incorporated, built a prototype, finished building our MVP, and are now rolling it out to users.

Your investment

Your Pre-Seed investment will help fund marketing to acquire our first 1,000 users. With this traction, we'll be ready for a Seed round to build the premium product, roll out subscriptions, and accelerate growth.

What Storey stands for

Our vision is to end disposable dating culture, which ultimately mistakes true love for a feeling that happens to you rather than a choice you make. Love may inspire feelings (good and bad) but it's not love unless it’s a choice.

In other words, love isn't something you fall in, but rise. It's a paradigm shift.

That's why we hope to empower singles to kiss falling in love goodbye and choose to rise in love instead.

How do you rise in love? One story at a time.
