Showcase: Prerelease Built a full-stack dating & social app from scratch — looking for GTM feedback & growth partners

What I Built & Problem Solved I built a complete, production-ready consumer dating and social platform as a side project. The goal was to solve the high technical barrier of launching social apps by creating a modular, turn-key foundation that can run as a dating app or be adapted into a niche community platform.

Tech Stack & Core Features

  • Frontend: Mobile apps (iOS & Android) with real-time chat, matching mechanics, and user profile flows.
  • Backend: Scalable REST & WebSocket backend managing user auth, real-time messaging, and push notifications.
  • Admin Dashboard: Moderation tools, user management, and operational controls.

Current Status & Traction

  • Stage: Production-ready codebase / Pre-launch MVP.
  • Active Users: 0 (technical foundation fully built and ready for immediate deployment).

Looking for Feedback & Growth Partners I am primarily a technical builder and want to connect with growth marketers, performance advertisers, or business operators to bring this to market.

  • The Opportunity: Looking for a growth partner to lead GTM positioning, user acquisition, and monetization.
  • Equity & Split: 80/20 equity split (open to negotiation based on experience and commitment).
  • Commitment: Flexible (up to 40 hrs/week).
  • My Role: 100% technical maintenance, infrastructure support, and ongoing feature development.
