Graze — Video first social networking for dating & meeting friends
Graze is the first true Video Based Social Networking App. Why waste endless time messaging and going on disappointing dates? Instead, you can spend 5 minutes or less on a Video Chat to find out if you have chemistry and a dynamic worth exploring in person.

VIDEO FIRST is definitely the way forward. Authenticity can also be easily managed. Congratulation on your launch ?makers !
@bilal_chaglani Thank you so much Bilal. Three years in the making and I always saw VIDEO FIRST as the future. I've watched my generation become consumed with scrolling and hiding behind the keyboard and it only seems to make us more and more disconnected. It is important for me to turn that around. 97% of the population has smart phones now, so let's use them for good! People & connection are what makes life so beautiful. Time to go back to the simple times of meeting someone and having a real conversation! Real smiles, not 😊
@heather_hopkins I can totally relate to what you are saying. Hats off to your initiative. All the best :)
@bilal_chaglani It's a sideways g for Graze, but once you see it as a person waving, you can't unsee it😜
The reasoning behind every app is crucial and Graze has nailed it. Making it more humanly makes it special. Come to India soon 🇮🇳
I always wanted to create a dating app with video introduction but never acted on it and today I see it in reality! I wonder how it took that long for someone to bring this idea to life. Dating industry definitely needs a new direction and hope Graze changes things and matches dating to 2021 standards!!!
Congrats on the launch guys! I'm signing up for your ambassador program right away!
Video is absolutely the future of online dating, no doubt about it and I'm excited to help scale Graze!
This is fantastic! Love that you can also meet friends on this app. I think now more than ever there are so many people feeling alone and I can imagine this would be a great way to start having some kind of interactions again. When you sign up, can you chose whether you are searching for dating or friendship or is it open to both?
@md_monirul_islam1 Hi Md! That is exactly why we launched it. We didn't anticipate to open up GrazeFriends mode so soon, but in times like this where human connection has become the #1 thing we crave most, we figured why limit the power of The Graze Method? You can choose to go on only Friends mode (Great for people in relationships who just want to meet new people), Dating, or both. Enjoy!
@nazim_m VIDEO FIRST IS THE FUTURE🚀 And we are so grateful to be a part of a more real, connected future!
Hey Everyone! 👋
Makers Heather Hopkins & Joshua Corb here. Joshua was an early engineer at Myspace and has been creating viral SaaS companies for decades.
I have been in the dating space since 2017 providing advice, sharing my experiences, and helping others live their best single life.
I very much take the no BS approach to dating. That led me to the personal frustrations I was experiencing with dating apps— which I later found through my audience that I was not alone.
I was so sick of my time being wasted. Messaging back and forth only for nothing to come of it, or worse— finally going on the date and realizing they are nothing like you thought.
All the apps on the market are chat based meaning that after you match, you message. But here’s the thing…it’s nearly impossible to determine relationship chemistry through messaging.
Our solution?
We take the Video First approach. After matching, you’ll have a 5 minute live video chat as your first encounter and then have the option to message once you know you have chemistry.
We love video at Graze.
We’re all about making dating feel natural again using video; you’ll see so many cool parts weaved throughout the experience where we really lean into that.
We’re here to connect people over smiles, not smile emojis.
If you’re sick of your time being wasted and want to actually have a real conversation with someone, you’ll love Graze. Try it and let us know what you think!
Oh and PS— we have Friends Mode too. So if you’re in a relationship, no problem— The Graze Method works to meet cool new people too."
@heather_hopkins how big is your UK base? Actually, it's not working for the UK or ANY other country (Facepalm).... again i wish Americans where not so self centric, especially when filling in DIGITS

Congrats on the launch!! I'm super excited for you all.

Few suggestions please work on the website redesign right away.
I'm surprised you guys didn't work on it before the launch because lots of people will be sharing it today all over the internet.
It seems like you guys completely ignored the website and just paying 100% attention to mobile app.
Brilliant! I was just talking with my friend about when will people integrate video with a dating site the other day. My company has worked with many dating sites to do data labeling, content moderation (image, text, and video ) to help prevent harmful, violent, and sexual content. Would love to work with the team and take Graze to the next level.
Tbh, I wasn't excited until I watched video and read more...I think this has some true potential. So simple...Good luck with it
@marouf_khan Thanks so much Marouf! I appreciate the comment. As a user myself (although a bit bias :) ), I know Graze is something special. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
It makes so much sense to do this on video! On the side note, how would you combat against ppl who may have lewd behavior on video?
@daryllman Hello Daryll! Thanks so much and great question. Our top priority is to maintain a safe environment for all of our users. Whilst onboarding, every user agree's to our Community Rules, which our Graze admins work 24/7 to uphold. We also use artificial intelligence to assist in video moderation. However, if you ever experience anything that you think violates our Community Rules, please be proactive and report it. We want every Grazer to have the BEST video experience-- and that means feeling comfortable and safe. Hope you enjoy!
This seems very interesting. I am curious on what your traction has been like so far.
This seems similar to Ohi. Still cool and looks clean congratulations on launching :).
Really cool @heather_hopkins! Loved everything about user onboarding process. Would be easier if I could import photos from IG/FB ;)
@alonsofb I know right, I agree! We have had some trouble getting permissions from IG/FB for photo permissions. If you know a way to, we'd love your help. 🙌
