Back to the Real World
Kevin Boutillier, Co-founder and CEO of Daremeet, sent the following note to investors and partners.
The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Dear investors and partners,
A world of appearances
We live in a world where what looks good often matters more than genuine connection. Behind screens and carefully curated lives, we believe many people are more isolated and unhappy than they appear.
This is not a passing trend. It is a deep drift: less presence, less spontaneity, fewer moments shared in the physical world. And yet real connection happens where people actually show up.
Why Daremeet?
Daremeet is our answer: a challenge, a spot on the map, an in-person meetup. The app gives you a simple, natural reason to talk, laugh and reconnect — on the street, in a park, at a café.
We are not building another layer on the screen. We are building a bridge to the outside world. Every challenge is an invitation to move, to dare, and to meet someone for real.
Where we are
Daremeet is an early-stage company with a live product, available in 44 languages and led by three co-founders from France. Today we are publishing this investor relations hub to share our vision with transparency.
Our priority is traction worldwide, partnerships with venues — bars, cafés, cultural spaces — and selective conversations with professional investors who share our conviction: the real world is not a relic of the past; it is the future.
Beyond software
Our ambition goes beyond the app. We want to change things by building, in the broadest sense, initiatives, experiences and products that bring people back to the real world.
Daremeet is only a starting point. We are also investing in brand, community, venues, event formats and content — everything that can help people step out of appearances and live together.
2026
This year, we will accelerate the product, deepen partnerships with venues and share our progress with you over time, when appropriate.
We are building Daremeet with startup energy and the conviction that another path is possible: less social performance, more real life. Thank you for believing in this mission and for walking with us.
Thank you for your trust and attention.
