    Built For Founders Entering A Trust-First Market

    Founders with a real angle on dating, a niche audience, a different matching philosophy, a safer experience, who understand that in this category, trust and verification aren't optional features, they're the actual product.

    The Profile That Wasn't Real

    A user matches with someone, starts talking, and eventually realizes the profile wasn't real, and that's the last time they open your app. Only about one in ten users believe dating platforms are doing a good job removing fake accounts (Source: Pew Research Center, cited via ConnectedCouples), a real trust gap. LiFet builds dating apps with real verification built in, so trust isn't something users have to hope for.

    PROCESS
    How We Build It
    01

    Discovery and Risk Assessment

    We review your actual product angle, your actual safety needs, and flag real risks before any code gets written.

    02

    Scope and Compliance Definition

    The exact feature list and any real safety and compliance requirements get locked in writing before development begins.

    03

    UI/UX Design

    A real, high fidelity prototype of your actual matching and messaging flow you review and approve before the build phase starts.

    04

    Technology and Architecture Setup

    The real technical foundation gets built first, including verification and moderation systems, before any feature work starts.

    05

    Agile Software Development

    Screens and features get built and verified one at a time, tracked against a visible pipeline you can see progress on.

    06

    Quality and Security Testing

    Your verification and moderation systems are tested against real scenarios before it counts as done, not assumed working.

    07

    Deployment and Launch

    Your app goes live, App Store and Google Play submission handled end to end.

    08

    Continuous Support and Optimization

    Real, ongoing moderation and safety updates after launch, not a one time handoff.
