A dating app for singles. A tool for matchmakers. Convoo is for people tired of swiping through hundreds of faces and getting nowhere. Instead of judging a photo, you start with a real conversation. The photo comes after. How it works - Join a live event happening tonight, or a private room a friend opened for you. You get paired with someone for a focused three-minute conversation. No profile, no photo, nothing to scroll. - When time's up, you both see each other at the same moment. You match only if you both want to keep talking, and no one ever finds out if you said no. If you're single - Show up to tonight's event and start talking. Every night has a different conversation theme, from playful to deep. You'll be paired in seconds and you'll know within three minutes whether you want to keep going. -No swiping. No profiles to browse. No sending messages into silence. If you know people who should meet - Anyone can be a matchmaker on Convoo, and most of us already are for someone. - Open a room, invite the single people you actually rate, and pick a night. Everyone joins at the same time and gets paired one on one. You bring the people, Convoo handles the introductions. - Rooms are private and invite-only, and everyone inside is there because you chose them. The rules stay the same: three minutes, no photos until after, and a match only when both people say yes. What you get - Conversation-first matching. Talk before you ever see a face. - Tonight Events. One live event every night, open to everyone. - Rooms. Private, invite-only nights you host for your own friends. - Mutual-only matches. Nobody finds out who passed. - Face verification. Real people, verified before they can join. - A new conversation theme every day of the week, from playful to deep. Convoo isn't about the perfect profile. It's about the three minutes that actually tell you something. Download Convoo and talk first.
