I dropped out of Berkeley with @eric6liu to kill Tinder with AI.
Now we raised $1.6M to build @Ditto__AI , the only dating platform that gets you to IRL date with 0 swiping and texting
3 months in, Ditto helped 12k+ users to get over 6000+ dates with tens of thousands of people on our waitlist
Ditto learns about your preference and takes care of everything - from finding the right person to setting up the time & location.
Ditto's mission is to build an automatic network where you can meet whoever want, whenever you want
We love everything we build at Ditto and can’t wait to share more with the world

Went out with my bestie this weekend in sf and found out there’s NOTHING to do….
So I am hosting my own events this week with
Friday - @ditto_dates office warming party 8pm
Sat - @ditto_dates run club at 10 am
@arlanr’s @nozomioai x @ditto_dates rager party 6pm
See u!
We dropped $200k to fly 6 interns to join @ditto_dates
Their average age is 19.5, and they are from all corners of the map: Boston, Newark, LA, Toronto, Vancouver, and Shanghai
Every single one think sf is the most innovative city they have ever seen
If you are in your 20s, sf is where you need to be
police called me that there's an intruder at the @ditto_dates office at 4am this morning
turns out it was the 17 yo high school dropout we hired
he drove 7 hrs up from LA to SF, arrived at 12am, started cooking, and fell asleep waiting for his claude code
the thing is, i never asked him to do any of this, and that's why police called me
i only told him there are some exciting projects he can work on, and there he is, grinding on the floor
he didn't ask for permission, he didn't wait for a yes, he simply wanted to build something cool and he just did it
if you have high agency and do whatever it takes to win, the world is your oyster and you will win
this kid is 17 and younger than 99% of you
what's your reason to be lazy?
There’s only one thing you should do during summer in your 20s:
Find love.
I still remember this one summer night. Walking along the shore under the moonlight, beers in hand, saying things out loud I’d never told anyone before.
On the drive home, neither of us wanted the night to end, so I just kept making left turns.
What I won’t remember? The spreadsheets. The standups. The Slack messages I stressed over at midnight.
That’s what summer in your 20s is for.
You spent the whole school year grinding. Now it’s time to actually live.
Let this be the summer that changes everything.
Let this be the summer you fall in love.
Stop wasting your time endlessly swiping on Hinge and Tinder and all those bs.
Go experience real chemistry.
Go make memories you’ll still think about years from now.
Ditto Summer is coming.
Gen Z cares more about getting laid than "Multi-Agentic AI B2B SaaS for the IRL Connection Economy"
@AllenWangzian realized this one detail and completely shifted the way he built and pitched @ditto_dates.
"What the tech circle cares about is not really what college kids care about. Investors want to hear about 'multi-agentic AI' and the 'future of technology,' but users just want to know: 'Can this help me find hotties?'
"We had to drop the 'AI' from our name and stop being 'techy' because people thought they were dating bots."
"For Gen Z, being raw and genuine resonates more than any fancy tech pitch."
Waking up to see @jonathanzliu texted me that his @ditto_dates is now his girlfriend & soulmate ❤️
This is exactly why we built @ditto_dates : we want people to find genuine connection and love
Your love is waiting for you on Ditto too. Try now link in comment ☘️
