Can you share the founding story?<\/h3>\n<p>We started Breeze during our studies in Delft. Knowing each other from De Kleine Consultant (a student-run non-profit strategy consultancy), we embraced the philosophy that team matters more than ideas and essentially started a venture builder.<\/p>\n<p>We had two initial ideas related to dating: a &#8216;swipe-for-your-friends dating app&#8217; and a &#8216;blind-date Tinder that arranges the date&#8217;. We found that people were frustrated with current apps, particularly during the chatting phase. Research showed that people spend an average of 38 hours on Tinder per date. Realising the potential to improve the dating experience, we decided to drop out of our Master\u2019s programmes and commit to building a dating app focused on facilitating offline dates.<\/p>\n<h3>How does Breeze&#8217;s tech streamline the process of arranging offline dates?<\/h3>\n<p>Unlike most dating apps that follow the &#8216;swipe, match, chat&#8217; concept popularised by Tinder, Breeze operates on a &#8216;match, plan, date&#8217; model. When you match on Breeze, there&#8217;s no chat. Instead, users fill in a date picker. Based on their availability and addresses, we make a reservation at one of our partnered hospitality venues. Users pay for our matching service, arrangement, the reservation, and the first drink provided by the venue.<\/p>\n<p>Whilst we have a smart venue selection and reservation system, our main technological focus is on matchmaking. We send users a limited number of suggested matches twice daily (at 7am and 7pm). This means we don&#8217;t just filter and sort available profiles; we use complex recommendation systems to optimise both locally and globally, sending the best number and set of profiles for all users.<\/p>\n<p>In essence, we use technology not to optimise for engagement and retention through endless swiping and chatting, but to facilitate actual matches and offline dates.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you share any key challenges in your scaling journey to date?<\/h3>\n<p>A key challenge we faced was Covid-19. We had just launched the app in early 2020 and had great traction with national media, but just one month later, the pandemic hit. Where other dating apps thrived, our model was (and is) organising offline dates at partnered bars. For a long time the bars were closed and people were reluctant to meet new people.<\/p>\n<p>So we didn&#8217;t earn any money &#8211; all our active users churned because we had no service to deliver. We were unsure if we would continue or pause for a while to work or finish studies. It was a very close call. We\u2019re happy we stuck together &#8211; we found a temporary solution by organising \u2018Walk &amp; Talk\u2019 dates and eventually raised a small round during those uncertain times from friends and family.<\/p>\n<h3>What motivated you to join Techleap for Scaleups&#8217; Rise programme?<\/h3>\n<p>Several Rise alumni recommended the programme to us, and our recent launch in Germany and plans for the UK and US expansions made it the perfect time to join.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_full-1e8a3ce218f0e023b5598bc47206fb8b av_one_full  avia-builder-el-10  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><div  class='avia-button-wrap av-m9jvbytr-652a5a8f7ee433cc24b511b7e8cd0787-wrap avia-button-left  avia-builder-el-11  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  tl-custom-bt-or'>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-m9jvbytr-652a5a8f7ee433cc24b511b7e8cd0787\">\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-m9jvbytr-652a5a8f7ee433cc24b511b7e8cd0787{\nfont-size:17px;\nborder-style:none;\nborder-radius:0 0 0 0;\nbox-shadow:none;\ntransition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\npadding:11px 26px 11px 26px;\n}\n#top #wrap_all .avia-button.av-m9jvbytr-652a5a8f7ee433cc24b511b7e8cd0787:hover{\ncolor:black;\nopacity:1;\ntransition:all 0.4s ease-in-out;\n}\n#top #wrap_all.avia-button.av-m9jvbytr-652a5a8f7ee433cc24b511b7e8cd0787:hover .avia_button_background{\nborder-radius:0 0 0 0;\n}\n<\/style>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/techleap.nl\/techleap-community\" class=\"avia-button av-m9jvbytr-652a5a8f7ee433cc24b511b7e8cd0787 av-link-btn avia-icon_select-no avia-size-large avia-position-left avia-color-theme-color-highlight avia-font-color-black\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-label=\"More About the Rise Programme\"><span class='avia_iconbox_title' >More About the Rise Programme<\/span><span class='avia_button_background avia-button avia-color-theme-color-highlight' ><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><section  class='av_textblock_section av-m9cuywyr-6eeb05daac1fa75dd3b360281741b3c7 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h3>Can you share some actionable takeaways you gained from Rise?<\/h3>\n<p>A couple things come to mind:<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, we&#8217;ve expanded our use of scorecards beyond hiring to include employee evaluations. This approach helps calibrate middle managers by having them fill in scorecards, allowing us to assess how critical their roles are. We&#8217;ve learned not to just evaluate employees on values, but also on their agreed-upon objective results and improvements they were expected to deliver.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, we&#8217;ve learned it&#8217;s okay to give leaders the final say on decisions. As Dutch people, we&#8217;re very consensus-driven, but with the need to move fast and be ambitious, this isn&#8217;t always productive. We&#8217;ve found it&#8217;s often better to be clear about decision structures and give people less say, rather than giving more input but still overruling or ignoring people in the end.<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, we&#8217;ve realised the importance of planning in our OKR process. It&#8217;s not just about setting metrics; the &#8216;Plan to Achieve&#8217; or &#8216;Roadmap&#8217; is equally important. We now use the &#8216;W-Model&#8217; from Miro to decide on OKRs. Here, leadership makes the first draft of the OKRs and plans. The various teams then have 2 rounds to refine and develop the draft, before leadership makes the final decision.<\/p>\n<h3>What do you hope to achieve in the coming few years?<\/h3>\n<p>Our goal is to have organised 5 million dates by the end of 2026. We aim to become one of the biggest dating apps in the major cities in the EU and US. If you want to keep track of our progress, the current amount of dates organised is on our website.<\/p>\n<h3>You expanded to the UK in May by launching in London. How has it been so far?<\/h3>\n<p>The launch in London has been very successful &#8211; we have seen that there is quite a lot of &#8216;dating app fatigue&#8217; in London, especially among women. We have outpaced our goals there so far and continue to grow weekly with double-digit numbers. We already plan to launch in one or two other cities in the UK.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"
