The Montana High Tech Business Alliance recently feted the firms, all of which meet at least two required criteria: steep revenue growth or work in a high-growth sector; high-potential products or services; valuable intellectual property; major clients or new markets; will expand operations or add a significant number of jobs in the next year; led by experienced entrepreneurs or top experts.
After all, dating is universal. So Charmed aims to be the bridge between the user and dating with its free app. Charmed hires two types of employees: media, marketing and branding experts, plus technical engineers and designers.
Charmed reimagines the way people interact while dating online. However, app users do not need to be single or even on a dating app to use Charmed. It is designed to help people land and go on more β and higher quality β dates. Instead of asking a friend for advice on how to reply over text or email, you can show them the convo and they can reply for you in your voice.
This makes online dating a more collaborative experience. A well-meaning friend can give or solicit advice about matches in real time and holds friends accountable to one another. These are elements missing from online dating. He and his friends dated by phone and traded screenshots instead of spending much time on actual dating apps. Yet data shows that dating app users complain of self-doubt, anxiety and fear of rejection.
So in a way, Charmed is a high-tech support group. Krister Kroll, Charmed growth advisor and an MBA student at the University of Montana, wants the app to bust through the overwhelming isolation barriers. We want people to have better experiences using the online dating platforms they already use. The world of online dating can become an isolating experience, but we don't believe it has to be. While the company works out the bugs and crashing problems, reaction to the app has been positive.
