Beyond Swipes: Building Reev, The Dating App For Real Connection
from The Startups Drive · host Kieran Longhurst
In this episode of The Startups Drive, I sit down with May Ku — founder of Reev, the upcoming dating app designed to move past swipes and algorithms. May talks about her background growing up in Korea, her path to Australia, and how she made the uncommon leap from a career in market research to entrepreneurship. We get into the realities of modern dating apps — from their focus on superficial swipes to their reliance on algorithms — and why she believes authentic connection can’t be engineered that way. May shares her vision for Reev and what it takes to build something different in such a crowded space. Whether you’re a founder curious about turning an idea into a startup, or just someone interested in where dating apps are headed, this episode offers insight into both love and entrepreneurship.Follow Myself https://www.instagram.com/longhurstkieran/https://www.linkedin.com/in/kieran-longhurst-a60959155/Follow May and Reevehttp://www.reev.com.au/https://www.linkedin.com/in/mayhyunjiku/
