Press kit · Updated June 2026
A new kind of dating app for people who want to know someone before meeting them. Anti-swipe. Verified. Built in Texas.
The pitch
Heart of Gold is an anti-swipe dating app built for people who want to know someone before meeting them. Members move through ten connection levels, becoming gradually less visible to others as a relationship deepens — the opposite of every engagement-maximizing app on the market. The app is free to join, with no subscription and no paywall. The platform started in Austin and is now open nationwide.
