In this episode, I sit down with Taly to discuss the benefits of an audio-only dating app. Blink Date is one of a kind, and the origin story is a must listen. What happens when we take the visual emphasis away from the dating apps? We judge less and we connect more. We also discuss some fun dating terms: what they mean now vs. what they meant then.

Taly Matiteyahu is the cofounder and CEO of Blink Date, a voice-only dating app inspired by a revelatory experience at a blackout restaurant. Making connections with strangers based on conversation alone, free of looks-driven assumptions, sparked the thought: would people date a wider variety of people if they were able to make an emotional connection before swiping left? 

Taly previously worked as a lawyer at a NYC law firm, in legal operations at Netflix and Datadog, and as a product manager at Evisort. Taly earned her Bachelor's degree from New York University in 2011 and her Juris Doctorate from Columbia Law School in 2015. You can find Blink Date on Instagram here or connect with Taly on LinkedIn.
