Fate App Launch: AI Ends Endless Swiping in Manchester
'After two years in the making, we launched our beta in London last month. Since then, not apenny has gone into paid advertising. Every single user has come to Fate through pure word
of mouth or Fate itself. The past month has been relentless. Our team grew from 13 to over Every day, we sharpened the app, clarified our messaging, and tuned every detail live inthe market, from matching to user flow. We built on real conversations and real feedback.
Now, we move from beta to full production.
The technology behind Fate is designed with the same intelligence that powers the world'sbest consumer products. Netflix doesn't ask what you want to watch. It studies what youactually choose, what you binge, what you pause or abandon. Spotify listens to your habitsand evolves with every play. Amazon anticipates your next need before you even type it in.Fate brings this level of intuition to human connection. Our agentic AI understands thesubtleties of your voice, your pace, your style. Every interaction makes the next match more
precise, more relevant, more interesting.
You only ever see six curated matches at a time. Each is handpicked, reflecting hundreds oflive signals from the way you engage. There's no endless scroll, no time wasted flicking
through faces. This system rewards your attention and your intent.
Other apps haven't built this kind of system, not because the technology doesn't exist, butbecause it threatens their business model. If you help users find what they actually wantfaster, your LTV drops. Most dating apps need users to stay single and addicted to theprocess. We are not interested in that. We will take the risk. If Fate is good enough, we aremore than happy to sacrifice LTV in exchange for the kind of word of mouth that only comesfrom delivering real connections. Which is why we are a connections app, not a dating app,dating without connecting is meaningless. My confidence comes from selling more than £10million in AI solutions to multiple multi-billion-pound revenue firms. We want Fate to be the
product that finally replaces chance with real connection that feels like Fate.
Fate Calls is at the centre of the experience. Every day, you enter a ten-minute, faceless,profile-free voice conversation with a stranger who sits outside your current six. If thechemistry is there, you can reveal each others' profiles but only by swapping one of yourexisting 6 matches out first. If you picked someone and sacrificed and existing match in the
process but were not selected in return – you lose both matches.
Our Insights engine shows you exactly how others experience you. No empty praise, noguesswork. You see where you spark interest, where you lose people, and what keeps
conversations alive. If you want to grow, you have all the information to get better
The Joker Card is your single daily opportunity to place yourself directly into any curated
pool. No resets or repeats. You get one move, and it counts.

Jena Sims hits back at notion husband Brooks Koepka got her ‘Happy Gilmore 2' role
Jena Sims is clapping back at the haters. In a TikTok video posted Monday night, the actress and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, 36, pushed back against the notion that she received a role in Netflix's 'Happy Gilmore 2' because she's married to LIV Golf star Brooks Koepka, who appears in the star-studded comedy. 'When I actually auditioned for Happy Gilmore 2, but everyone thinks I'm in it because of my husband,' Sims captioned the video that featured her dancing in a trailer while mouthing, 'And my man, thank you to my man.' Advertisement 4 Jena Sims in her TikTok about her cameo in 'Happy Gilmore 2.' @jenamsims/TikTok Sims made a brief appearance in the film as a die-hard fan of a golfer who rivals Adam Sandler's titular Happy. Advertisement In addition to Koepka, who has been married to Sims since 2022, golfers such as Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau, Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele were among those featured in the sequel to the 1996 original. 4 'Happy Gilmore 2' premiered on Netflix in July 2025. Scott Yamano/Netflix Sims told People this month she loved offering acting tips to Koepka, 35, not to mention the shared experience of being in a film together. 'He felt like he was stepping into my world,' Sims said. 'I had to teach him how to read a script and how to find certain things within the script. It was cool watching him step out of his comfort zone because that rarely happens.' Advertisement 4 Jena Sims on the set of 'Happy Gilmore 2.' @jenamsims/Instagram Sims, who often supports Koepka on the road with their 2-year-old son Crew, said her role in 'Happy Gilmore 2' is a stark contrast to how she typically goes about her business at golf tournaments. 'I try to blend into the background or even not even be seen at golf tournaments,' she relayed to People. 'This was the complete opposite. I had to literally jump up and down and scream and try to get this other guy's attention.' 4 Brooks Koepka and Jena Sims at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Kick Off Dinner on May 30.

Sims' acting credits range from 'Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader' to the 'Sharknado' franchise.

SOSV bets plasma will change everything from semiconductors to spacecraft
Sometimes a tool — like a hammer — comes along and everything starts looking like a nail. But other times, new tools end up being more than a simple blunt-force object. The investors at SOSV are betting that plasma will become a nuanced implement capable of everything from enabling fusion power to changing the way semiconductors are made. It sees so much potential that it plans on investing in more than 25 plasma-related startups over the next five years. It is also opening a new Hax lab space in partnership with the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and the U.S. Department of Energy's Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. Nuclear fusion is an obvious place to seed plasma startups. The potential power source works by compressing fuel until it turns into a dense plasma, so dense that atoms begin fusing, releasing energy in the process. 'There's so much here. The best ideas have yet to come to unlock a lot of potential in the fusion space,' Duncan Turner, general partner at SOSV, told TechCrunch. But fusion is just the tip of the iceberg, Turner said. The company has already invested in two companies, including Yplasma, which uses plasma actuators to cool data center chips and control airflow over wind turbine blades. Finding new uses for plasma in semiconductor manufacturing, where the state of matter already plays a role, could unlock new materials and processes, Turner said. Spacecraft could benefit from plasma thrusters, which are more fuel efficient than traditional thrusters. Harnessing plasma could also unlock entirely new ways to make chemicals like ammonia for fertilizer or fuel from CO 2 .
