"Onces vision is to create the post-swipe dating world": Interview with Onces CEO and founder, Clémentine Lalande
Summary
We were able to speak with Clémentine about her experience growing Once, building a 10-million-strong community, Once’s recent acquistion, and her thoughts on the future of the dating industry. I started my career at the Boston Consulting Group and worked with private equity and venture capital companies. Then I founded Pickable, a feminist dating app, which reverses gender power imbalances by requiring only men to create a profile. A few months after its launch and already with two million users, Pickable was awarded by Apple and sold to Once, while I headed the united company. Having a great partner in such a concentrated and competitive market, allows us to expand our reach and accelerate geographic expansion to make dating personal again and slow it down.
