MASTERMIND YOUR LAUNCH: Campbell Brudi with Flop

00:00 /

Campbell Brudi/Flop

In a world where time moves so fast, modern dating services seem to stand still. Not anymore! Flop is the first truly time-sensitive dating app where the focus is to get people in and out! Matches lock after 48 hours and the woman is given the option to “Keep Talking”, “Meet-Up” or “Flop”. At any time during the match, any party can “Flop” on the other, thus ending the conversation. This creates an atmosphere where things like harassment will get you “Flopped”. Flop believes that all forms of human interaction are very important, so they include picture messaging with captions and voice messaging along with your typical text. Say goodbye to those old matches and dry conversations because every match made on Flop ends up in a “Meet Up” or a “Flop”.
