About the founder
One-line bio
Short bio
Long bio
Kevin Wamba is the solo founder of Date Cards, a Brussels-launched dating app he built between 2025 and 2026. Engineering background, dating-app-tired user, and stubborn about making meeting someone feel like one decision again — taken once, kept simple.
Date Cards proposes a single rule: your first move is a real date. No swipe feed, no first message — you see someone, you propose a venue and three time slots, they say yes or no. Brussels is the launch city by design: small enough to reach usable density at a few thousand users, trilingual, and a European hub from which a working cohort propagates to Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin. The app launches in 2026 with a GDPR-first architecture and EU-only data.

Date Cards is a Brussels-launched dating app that rebuilds courtship around the act of proposing a real date. Users send a Date Card — a venue and three time slots offered to someone they actually want to meet — and skip the swipe-and-message loop. The recipient picks a slot, declines, or counter-proposes. The app's job is to disappear once the date is set.
Date Cards is built around three principles: in-person meetings are the goal, specificity is the discipline (one card a day), and EU users come first (GDPR-first architecture, EU-only data, user behavior stays private). The app launches in 2026 in Brussels, with French, English, and Dutch support, and expands across European cities in the months that follow.

Topics I can speak to
Three areas Kevin is available to discuss in interviews, panels, or written contributions. Each topic includes a quotable sample — use it as background or pull it directly.
The loneliness epidemic
European loneliness has worsened steadily since 2010. Dating apps grew alongside that curve. Many users describe leaving them lonelier than they arrived. The question worth asking is what these apps optimize for: matches (the metric that drives revenue) or first dates (the metric that actually changes someone's life). Date Cards picks the second — every product decision is measured against whether it shortens the distance between two people who'd like to meet.
The EU and Brussels tech scene
Brussels is underrated as a launch market for consumer tech. It's small enough that a few thousand users in three neighborhoods create real network density, trilingual by default, and a European hub from which a working cohort propagates to Paris, Amsterdam, Berlin. The EU regulatory environment — often framed as a burden — was a design opportunity for Date Cards: GDPR-first architecture, EU-only data, and the absence of behavioral profiling were not constraints, they were the product.
Product design as a public good
When most European singles aged 25–40 use dating apps and most report dissatisfaction, the design choices of those apps become public concerns. They shape millions of people's social lives, mental health, and ability to form relationships. Date Cards is built on the premise that a dating app's success metric should be in-person meetings — measured in lives changed — and that the distance between that metric and screen-time is the distance between a product that helps and a product that extracts.
