Why BOTH
Why we’re
building both.
When the interest is shared.
Our mission
To help people find a connection they both want to build.
You can want to know someone and still wonder whether they want to know you. When they return to a detail you mentioned and offer something of their own, the conversation begins to feel shared.
We’re building BOTH for people who want that sense of give-and-take when they meet someone new.
For us, shared effort means asking because you want to know, listening to what comes back and offering something of yourself. People show that interest in different ways, and either person remains free to continue or step away.
We’re beginning with the introduction.
Both sides places something about you alongside the detail behind it: “I bake to relax” and “I always make enough to share.” It offers another person a glimpse of you and a possible place to begin.
Some profile answers are optional, with separate choices about whether they appear. A personal introduction can still leave parts of your life to be discovered gradually.
These choices reflect the kind of experience we want to create: one in which both people have something to contribute and a say in what follows.
Our ambition is a connection both people want to build.
The name and the doves.
BOTH expresses the principle behind the app: each person matters in what happens next.
Our two doves face one another, with space between them. For us, they represent mutual interest and gentleness, with room for each person to remain themselves.
