OUR story
This app isn't just for singles, and it's NOT your typical dating app!
This Huddlup project has been growing in our hearts for some time now! From a Parent's Perspective: We didn't grow up with dating apps; we met the old-fashioned way. We have had a wonderful marriage but, we would have NEVER "matched" on a dating app! It's a good thing that dating apps didn't exist back then! Unfortunately, our children have had to grow up in the era of dating apps. We've seen firsthand the dangers—emotionally, mentally, and physically—that even the most secure dating apps can perpetuate. It's a pretty harsh, dark environment, full of uncertainty. It's especially difficult for people who are genuinely seeking good, healthy, lasting relationships. We want to see our children find good spouses and have healthy, fulfilling relationships. After talking to our kids, their friends, our divorced friends, and even widowed elderly relatives, we realized that there's a massive need for a safe, accountable, and supportive dating environment...and that's exactly what Huddlup is going to provide! We can't say too much yet, but trust us, when you hear how it works, it’ll all make sense. It will not only be useful, it will be FUN too! During COVID, we had a lot of time to brainstorm, and this idea emerged. We thought, "Why hasn't anybody invented this? Somebody really should invent that!". The more we thought about it and the more we talked to people, the more we thought: "Why wait around? Why don't WE just invent it!" After months of research and talking to lots of people, we pitched our idea to an app development team...and they LOVED it! They did their market research and confirmed that there’s nothing like it out there! It was such an exciting moment to know that we were onto something that could make a real difference! However, after learning more about the costs involved, we realized it would take more than we expected to get it off the ground. We just couldn’t justify risking our home and future stability and opportunities for our children. We were pretty deflated. We tried to put the idea to rest, but this idea just wouldn't leave us alone!!! We see the need for it every single day! People tell us their dating struggles, and we can't help but think, “If only there was an app for that!". Finally, we figured out a way to help fund the building of HuddlUp with the HUD Token ...AND to allow our friends, family and community to help power the app! We can't WAIT to tell you more about it — we truly believe this app will change the dating landscape for the better! So, if you are single or just know someone who is, this app is for YOU! We truly believe that we are on a mission to make dating safer, more accountable, and enjoyable! We hope you'll be part of it. Thanks for your support, and stay tuned for more updates!
