Boardroom is a dating app designed for busy professionals. We verify users through LinkedIn and a manual review process. We’ve designed the app to serve those looking for serious long term relationships by encouraging intentional swiping and focused matching.

Hello Product Hunters 👋 I’m Wisani, and I’m super excited to announce Boardroom - a dating app for professionals who are looking to date professionals alike. I know: "Not another dating app!" Hear us out ✍️ We created Boardroom because we saw that all the big dating apps had these two same problems: 1. Poor quality of profiles (and bots) because they're open to everyone 2. Ghosting & despondency because they're designed like casinos ✅ Addressing the quality problem ========================== Being working professionals ourselves, we saw an opportunity to build a dating app that was limited to other working professionals with an already well-crafted online presence - we thought this was a good proxy to solve for the first problem. 👻 Addressing the ghosting problem ============================ Soon after testing the app, we fell into the same ghosting issues that other platforms faced - and we narrowed it down unintentional swiping and overmatching. The typical dating app lets you match with an unbounded number of people. The problem users face is that they either have too many chats to manage, or they’re destined to match with other users who have too many chats to manage. Imagine a real life scenario where you’re trying speak to the president when 100 other people are trying to do the same thing - chances are, not everyone will get a chance! Our solution was to have a three chat limit. This guarantees that anytime two people are chatting, we’re simulating “6 people in a room”, where the likelihood of being present in the conversation is higher. 👉 Some key differentiators for Boardroom ================================ ✅ LinkedIn verification 💬 Three chat limit 💖️ You can see your likes for free 📖 We manually review profiles We're super excited for you to try out the app. We can't wait to hear your feedback and suggestions. Thank a million for your support!

I think this occupies a perfect niche and the features all support the overall goal of the app. I'm always apprehensive of the success of a new dating app because the competition is so strong. But this app already has such a vast network (at least in my area) - really impressed. I think it has real legs. Its familiar enough to the traditional dating app experience, but has some shining features that differentiate it, and like I said, really supports the target market. I love that I only have 3 chats at a time. I notice if I have 5 or 6 simultaneous matches on tinder, that I don't really give any a real chance, and feel spread too thin balancing work life as well.
Boardroom is a breath of fresh air in the crowded dating app market. The LinkedIn verification and three-chat limit are brilliant touches that ensure meaningful connections. It’s clear that this app was designed with the user's best interests at heart. Can't wait to dive deeper! Congrats on the launch!
congratulations on the launch, wisani, serisha, and derusha! boardroom sounds like a thoughtful approach to dating for professionals. i appreciate the focus on quality profiles and addressing the ghosting issue. have you considered any unique features for fostering meaningful connections beyond the three chat limit? excited to see how boardroom evolves!
It's our Monday morning meeting at Anabolic, and we're discussing our latest project milestones. As we wrap up, I couldn't shake off my nerves. With a quick glance at my phone discreetly hidden under the table, I type out a message on Boardroom to my coworker seated across the room. 'Hey, I know this is out of the blue, but would you be interested in grabbing coffee sometime?' Heart pounding, I hit send and try to focus on the remaining agenda items. To my relief, her face lights up as she reads the message, and she responds with an enthusiastic 'Yes!' Sometimes, all it takes is a little courage and a Boardroom message to turn a professional connection into something more. I must thank @wisanishilumanimakes and the boardroom team for bringing this into fruition. Dating apps, datings app never change...until now. The year is 2024. Now is truly the time of monsters.
Great concept your team has implemented. I’m sure a lot of professionals will find immense value from it. When is this open to the public to sign up without the invite code?
What means "professionals" - I think you should communicate in a more clear way who the target is.
Both of your pain points are accurate I'd imagine. My friends complain about 2 all the time. Threw in my vote!
Boardroom is a game-changer for professional singles. With its sleek interface and tailored approach to matchmaking, it's like LinkedIn for love. Say goodbye to swiping fatigue and hello to meaningful connections with like-minded individuals. Highly recommended for those who value both career and companionship.
