Dating apps have failed an entire generation. Kupid is taking over by doing what no one else has, making connections real again.
Founded by 20-year-old Evan Rama out of his UT Austin dorm, Kupid transforms dating into bold, live events where the audience decides who connects. Evan’s background in theater taught him how to build tension, tell stories, and turn awkward moments into unforgettable entertainment.
To fund his first show, he DoorDashed over 70 miles. That first event sold out and went viral, racking up 15 million views and 700,000 shares.
Now comes the genius behind the madness. Every attendee downloads the Kupid app for tickets. When someone is voted off on stage, the audience can match with them instantly. The show livestreams on the app, creating a viral loop. The near 40-campus tour launching in fall will drive tens of thousands of downloads at almost zero customer acquisition cost.
Kupid is the future of connection.
