HER helps lesbian, bisexual and queer people meet each other

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We built a dating app for lesbian, bisexual, and queer womxn to connect authentically. It goes beyond dating by enabling group chats, building communities around shared identities and interests, and listing LGBTQ+ events locally. We also host real-world events in 12 cities where hundreds gather monthly to meet in person.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We are based in San Francisco, CA, with team members remote as well. After YC, we would continue to base the company in San Francisco where the ecosystem and community supporting queer tech startups thrive.

Explain your decision regarding location.

San Francisco is the center of tech and LGBTQ+ communities, which makes it the best hub for building both the product and real-world queer events at scale. Remote team members also give us flexibility.
