Why Space?
If you’ve used apps like Tinder or Bumble, you already know the frustrations—limited swipes, endless paywalls, and algorithms designed to keep you swiping instead of actually meeting people. These apps are built for profit, not connection. That’s where Space has stepped in.
HOW IT WORKS
STEP 1Find someone you are interested in talking to on the grid.
|
STEP 2Click on the chat icon in the right hand corner below.
|
STEP 3Shoot your shot with the nearest male or female nearby.
|
It's That Simple
At Space, there is no algorithm. If someone is interested in you, they will message you back. If not, you can click 'ignore' and their profile will disappear. We allow you to see the nearest single 500 men or women completely free and allow you to direct message them in a chatroom style forum.
Advanced Features
Our team has gone back to the drawing board and implemented many advanced features to give you the best experience possible- Selfie Verification, 24/7 Live Chat Support, Advanced A.I, Nudity Image Detection, Profanity Filters and many more.

FAQ
Why We Made This APp
🧨 Getting a new B2C app to take off these days without spending millions on ads is almost impossible.
The only way to break through is by creating controversy and buzz in the press—and that’s exactly what we’re doing.
We saw that Match Group has a monopoly on the dating app market, and we knew that launching a “Grindr for straight people” would get people talking and guarantee massive press coverage. This app has all the ingredients for a viral breakout:
We didn’t build this app to compete with Tinder and Bumble—we built it to completely disrupt the entire dating app market. It’s not just about being a “straight version of Grindr”—it’s about how the core functionality and UX of these apps work.
✅ Grindr works like an Instagram newsfeed where users can see nearby profiles and message whoever they want. If someone’s interested, they message back. If not, they ignore or block. It’s a chatroom model that drives fast connections.
❌ Tinder relies on swiping, matching, and then messaging—adding unnecessary friction that slows down connections.
Space eliminates the middleman. We’re letting users message whoever they want—completely free.
📱 If I’ve learned anything in my life, it’s that better, faster software always wins:
Myspace > Facebook > Instagram > TikTok > Google > ChatGPT.
💡 Why Space Will Explode
When the headline drops--
👉 “After 17 years, someone finally made a straight version of Grindr.”
We’re looking at a couple hundred thousand users within a month.
✅ The App is Ready to Scale:
📊 8. Grindr’s Financial Performance vs. Space’s Potential
Grindr’s revenue model shows that Space can generate substantial revenue at scale. In 2023, Grindr made $344.6 millionwith around 8 million daily active users (DAUs), but high operational costs and compliance expenses led to inconsistent profitability.
📊 Grindr’s Quarterly Breakdown (2023):
If Space reaches 1 million daily active users (1/8 of Grindr’s user base), it would generate approximately $43 million annually using the same revenue-per-user model.
✅ Grindr’s Revenue Per User Per Quarter:
89M8M≈11.13 per user per quarter.8M89M≈11.13 per user per quarter.✅ Projected Revenue for Space Per Quarter:
1M×11.13≈11.1M per quarter.1M×11.13≈11.1M per quarter.📈 Quarterly Revenue Estimates for Space at 1 Million Users:
📱 Quarterly Cost Estimates for 1 Million Users on Space:
To maintain 1 million users, Space’s costs would remain consistent at:
📈 Quarterly Cost Estimate: $105,000–$165,000 per quarter
🔥 Quarterly Profit Projection for Space at 1 Million Users:
Unlike Grindr, which faced high operational costs that resulted in a $124 million net loss in Q4, Space operates with lower overhead and a leaner infrastructure.
At 1 million users, Space could generate ~$43 million in revenue annually while maintaining a much higher profit margin, with costs accounting for only 1–1.5% of projected revenue.
✅ Projected Profit at 1 Million Users:
43M−660K≈42.34M annually.43M−660K≈42.34M annually.🔥 That’s a ~98.5% Profit Margin.
With costs this low, every new user adds directly to the bottom line.
At 2 million users, Space could generate ~$86 million annually with nearly the same costs, making it a cash machine ready for explosive growth. 🚀
🎯 1. Tech Stack Overview
iOS Stack:
Monitoring & Analytics: Tools like Datadog, New Relic, or Prometheus to track server performance.
💡 2. Harassment & Moderation
Space uses AI-powered message moderation to detect harmful messages before they’re sent.
If someone tries to send an inappropriate message, a warning pops up:
👉 “This message has been deemed inappropriate. Send this message and get banned.”
Goal: Create a safe and respectful space where users can “shoot their shot” without harassment.
📣 3. Marketing & Growth Plan
Guerrilla Marketing:
Space plans to rely on organic press and controversy for user growth, avoiding heavy ad spending.
💰 4. Fundraising & Investment Plan
Seeking:
📈 5. Competitive Edge
🌟 6. Why It’s a Smart Bet for Investors
🎯 7. End Goal
🔥 Space is Ready to Disrupt the Market.
Now we just need an angel or investor who sees the vision.
For a $500K - $1M SAFE round at a $5M cap, investors would be getting equity in your company based on the valuation cap of $5M. Here’s a breakdown of how much equity they would receive:
Equity for Investors:
500,0005,000,000=0.10 or 10%5,000,000500,000=0.10 or 10%
For a $1M Investment:
1,000,0005,000,000=0.20 or 20%5,000,0001,000,000=0.20 or 20%
So, if an investor puts in $500K, they would receive 10% equity, and if they put in $1M, they would receive 20% equity, assuming no dilution and the valuation cap stays at $5M.
This is a time sensitive deal any non believers will not be invited to future rounds.

No, this app was inspired by our LGBTQ+ friends on a night out during pride week in West Hollywood. And no we are not exclusionary to trans. We just think it's one of the biggest holes in the market of all time.
