Weaver alerts people to Red Flags & Deal Breakers of potential matches before the first message. Most professionals within the dating & relationship sphere agree that mutual core values is one of the most important factors when vetting dates & significant others. Through encouranging a greater focus on the truly important parts of people and less so on the superficial ones, we endeavor to facilitate better dating habits.

We’re a small start-up just getting our feet on the ground. Although this means our resources are little and risk is high; it also means a great amount of flexibility, having autonomy, starting in a senior leadership position and staying there as we mature and grow.

Curiosity - There are always opportunities to learn & grow. Ask questions, keep your mind open & try on a new perspective.
Vulnerability - There is no courage without vulnerability. Creativity, taking risks, deeper connections & achieving greatly require stepping into vulnerability.
