Wyldfire is a location-based dating application available on iOS. It was founded by San Diego-based Andrew White and Brian Freeman in 2014, and was inspired by Tinder.[1][2]
The app was designed to create a better environment for women online by giving them control over which men join the network. All men who join are approved by a female member and chat between members is limited to 20 messages.[1] Five of the company's 11-member launch team are women and the site was backed by $150,000 in angel funding.[1]
The company's first marketing message centered on a "ditch the creeps," movement supported by a humorous YouTube video.[3][4]
