Created From Experience, Designed for Purpose
Justin, our co-founder, had the vision for a better dating experience after completing the 12-step recovery program. He understood how tough it can be to date while prioritizing sobriety. When he jokingly asked his counselor, “What’s the 13th step?” the response — rooted in sober community slang — sparked a lightbulb. Thus, the idea was born: a dating space that’s safe, sober, and deeply human.
