Quinn

Seed Round in 2022
Quinn is a digital platform that delivers audio erotica through a mobile app. It provides an on-demand catalog of spoken stories across genres, allowing users to listen to creators, browse categories, and curate personalized playlists for intimate listening experiences. The service emphasizes non-visual storytelling as a mode for exploration, focusing on adult audiences and privacy. Quinn aims to offer a convenient way to discover new erotic narratives by aligning recommendations with user mood and preferences, while supporting creator-driven content. By combining accessible content, easy discovery, and playlist customization, the platform positions itself as a dedicated space for audio erotica that can be enjoyed privately on mobile devices.

DOWN

Seed Round in 2013
DOWN is the #1 hookup app (casual dating) in the world, with millions of users, ranked top 5 dating apps in the US on Apple App Store. Down, Inc. started as Bang With Friends, a viral Facebook app that quickly gained 1M users and attention worldwide. Featured in The Economist, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, TechCrunch, and many more outlets, DOWN stands out as the most honest and successful casual dating network in the world. In 2016, Down, Inc. was acquired by Paktor. In 2018, Founder Colin Hodge and first Product Designer, Nadav Mills, reacquired the company and continue to run it independently to this day. With DOWN Dating, you can choose whether you want more serious relationships or pure hookups. We view sexuality as a healthy, natural, and crucial aspect in relationships. We are adults, so sexual intention and attraction shouldn't be shamed for. We want you to have fun with your dating app matches, and we believe it's healthier if people are up-front with what they want by specifying if they want to GET (a) DATE or GET DOWN.
