Lisa Craft – Founder of Adventure Dating It’s about connecting to like minded individuals through a common activity, and we’re an experience first dating platform. Lisa Craft is the founder of Adventure Dating, a lifestyle-driven dating platform designed to replace swipe culture with real-world connection through shared outdoor experiences. Raised in Southern California, Lisa grew up surrounded by surfing, nature and movement, and credits her grandparents for shaping her values of wellness, curiosity and self-belief, her grandfather encouraged invention and problem-solving, while her grandmother instilled a lifelong commitment to health and activity. Lisa has been an entrepreneur for more than two decades, launching Southern California CPR in 2002 before turning her attention to the dating space. After seeing widespread burnout from traditional dating apps, she created Adventure Dating to offer something more meaningful: curated, active dates, a concierge-style premium experience and an algorithm focused on lifestyle compatibility rather than endless swiping. Her philosophy of success centers on wellness, integrity, patience and loving the work you do, principles she consistently emphasizes in interviews. Today, Lisa leads Adventure Dating from Los Angeles, helping singles connect through hikes, sailing, wine tastings and other shared adventures, and is recognized as a founder redefining modern dating by blending technology, wellness and genuine human connection.
