Pitch meeting:\
\
Dating apps are incentivized to drag out the dating process as much as possible. That\'s because almost of all of them get paid via a recurring fee. If their users find a long term match, then they stop using the site, and the dating app developer loses money.\
\
Therefore, to align incentives, dating apps should require users to pay their monthly fees into an escrow account with a 10 year time limit. If the user gets married / finds a partner within 10 years, then the escrow amount is released to the dating company. If the user doesn\'t find a date within 10 years, then the escrow is automatically dispersed to a randomly selected charity selected from a list both user and company agree to when the user signs up.\
\
That way, user and company incentives are aligned. The dating app is incentivized to find a partner for the user as quickly as possible (so they get the money). The user is incentivized to find a partner as quickly as possible, so they don\'t have to pay into the escrow account any more.\
\
Users are not incentivized to lie because they lose the money either way\--it either goes to the dating app company or the charity.
