SWYM founders want you to dive in to find a date for Valentine’s Day

The February Startup Cornell podcastfeatures a chat with Terrence Liverpool '02 and Jeffrey Cherry, founders of SWYM, a dating app that allows users to meet and match with people at events such as concerts, music festivals, conferences or sporting events, or even everyday locations such as supermarkets, gyms, parks or bookstores.

The duo founded the company right before the pandemic, which was a tricky time for this idea, but had a launch party last fall and have connected with organizers of key events in New York City, who are using their platform. They say meeting in real life at events, with the use of technology, helps people connect with others who have similar interests.

The Startup Cornell podcast features interviews with Cornell entrepreneurs, who tell their stories of successes and failures and offer actionable advice for building and growing a business. It's available on the Entrepreneurship at Cornell website, as well as Apple podcasts, Spotify and Soundcloud.
