We built Curate because dating apps stopped being about dating. They make money the longer you stay single, so they're built to keep you swiping, not to get you out. Endless feeds, paywalled matches, and everyone on there except the people you'd actually like. We're not reinventing the dating app. We just built the one we wanted to use. The parts everyone else charges for are free, and we'd rather you meet someone and stop needing us. Curate is for University of Texas at Austin students. You sign up with a UT Austin student email, so everyone you see goes to your school. You must be 18 or older. THE FREE APP IS THE WHOLE APP Everything you need to meet someone is free. Not free-trial free. Free. • Discover: swipe through UT students • Today's picks: an AI learns your type from how you swipe and lines up a handful of people worth meeting, every day. Free • Two-step matching: rate the photos, then the personality. A match takes a full yes on both, from both of you • See who likes you: always visible, never paywalled. We're not holding your matches hostage • Chat: real-time messaging with your matches CURATE PREMIUM We only charge for the things that cost us money every time you use them. Everything else is free because it's free for us to deliver. • More picks, now. Out of today's? Pull a fresh set immediately instead of waiting for tomorrow One plan: $9.99 per week, auto-renewing. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel any time in your Apple Account settings. The free app stays fully usable if you never pay us a cent. THE FINE PRINT WE ACTUALLY MEAN • UT Austin students only for now. Signup requires a UT Austin student email • 18+ only, enforced at signup • Report and block tools are built in, and we review reports • Your photos and data are yours.

Golf apps have spent years trying to fix your swing. Mullees fixes the harder problem: finding people you actually want to spend four hours with. Whether you’re scratch, brand new, somewhere in the honest middle, a sunrise walker, a twilight-nine person, a casual competitor, a music-in-the-cart golfer, or just here for the turn dog—there’s a crew for you. Mullees is the social network built around how golfers actually play. FIND YOUR PEOPLE Discover golfers based on more than handicap. Match by skill, schedule, pace, round style, personality, music, drinks, walking or riding, and the kind of day you’re trying to have. FIND A ROUND See open rounds near you, check the course, time, format, pace, and vibe, then grab a spot before the group chat falls apart again. POST YOUR OWN Need a fourth? Put the round on the board. Set the details, open the spots, and find golfers who fit the day. MATCH YOUR VIBE A good playing partner is more than a number. Mullees helps explain why someone may be a fit—similar pace, shared preferences, nearby courses, compatible schedules, and more. JOIN LOCAL COMMUNITIES Connect through city and golf-course communities, follow local activity, find nearby rounds, and meet golfers who already play where you do. STEP INTO THE CLUBHOUSE Read golf stories, discover useful content, share recommendations, and stay connected to the culture around the game. BUILD A REAL GOLF CIRCLE Connect, message, request a round, and turn one good pairing into the beginning of a regular crew. Mullees is for: • First-timers and low handicaps • Casual rounds and serious matches • Walkers, riders, talkers, scorekeepers, and snack captains • People whose friends are always “definitely free next weekend” • Golfers from every background who agree on one thing: golf is better with good people No popularity contest. No country-club attitude. No need to pretend your 14 is a 9. Just better rounds, better people, and more reasons to get out there. Find your crew. Play your game.
