Playdate secures £250k from angel investors and Ankh Impact Ventures to scale its dating app for single parents.
The funding will support team expansion, technology optimisation, and marketing campaigns.
Playdate is a dating application built specifically for single parents in the United Kingdom. The bootstrapped platform offers features such as integrated childcare solutions and profile invisibility.
Playdate has raised £250k in its first external funding round from angel investors and Ankh Impact Ventures. The capital will be deployed to expand the team, refine the platform technology, and step up digital marketing efforts to accelerate domestic growth.
Launched in April 2021 by founder Nevine Coutry, the dating application caters exclusively to single parents. The platform has recorded steady user acquisition and includes tailored features such as an in-app childcare partnership with Bubble.
