Way back when I was in ad school, I came up with this idea for a dating website that matched users based on mutual dislikes. Nothing brings people together like hating the same thing, right? But I had no idea how to build it, so I shelved it. Five years after I graduated, a dating app called “Haters” launched and got 200,000 downloads in thirty days. Ugh. I hate it when that happens.

It was such a long time ago and the comps are so, so, so awful, but I still love this idea, so it’s staying in my portfolio.
