Software developer and DJ Chudi Iregbulem established Beatmatch in 2021.
Iregbulem developed his technological skills in a number of significant digital and media firms, including Amazon, ESPN, and Caviar, before releasing the app.
After a pleasant encounter with a close friend at a concert, Iregbulem was motivated to develop the mobile matchmaking platform because they had similar specialized musical tastes.
Vinylly is a niche online dating service that only links users based on musical affinity.
The platform, which debuted in October 2019, uses a user’s musical DNA as the main matching factor in place of the conventional superficial bios and swiping.
Rachel Van Nortwick, a marketing expert and lifelong music lover who has seen more than 500 concerts, established Vinylly in Phoenix, Arizona.
She developed a matchmaking mobile app to emphasize musical affinity as a deeper basis for interactions after being inspired by the “meaningless connections” she saw on conventional swiping apps.
Turn Up is a social networking and matchmaking app that connects people based on their “musical DNA” and focuses on music.
Through similar likes in musicians, genres, and music, users can find platonic friends or romantic relationships.
A team focused on music-based social discovery created Turn Up, which is currently run under the developer name Dately, a French startup.
It was developed with the goal of bridging the gap between conventional dating apps and social discovery by utilizing “musical DNA” to help find platonic concert-going friends as well as love matches.
BDSM.com is a social networking and dating service created especially for the fetish and BDSM (Bondage, Discipline, Sadism, and Masochism) communities.
Indeed, BDSM.com has been around since the 1990s and was first registered on May 3, 1995.
It predates other significant platforms like FetLife, which debuted in 2008, and Kink.com, which was established in 1997, making it one of the oldest functioning websites devoted to the BDSM community.
Its early beginnings as a social networking and online dating site corresponds with the broader emergence of kink culture during the “Internet Age.”
