Social Discovery Group, the minds behind Dating.com and DateMyAge.com, has embarked on an exciting new venture. They’ve unveiled a venture studio named SDG Lab, which sets out to revolutionize how we experience virtual intimacy. This initiative is casting its net wide to support budding startups focused on AI-driven communication, XR developments, and innovative social discovery platforms.
SDG Lab is stepping up with a hefty $20 million commitment each year, ensuring a smooth and straightforward funding journey. Entrepreneurs eager to innovate can tap into this fund for both the launch phase and scaling up their projects.
Among the standout investments from SDG Lab are the virtual dating platform ‘VR Chat&Date’ and some rather unique niche-focused dating apps like Kiseki, Flure, and AstroLove.
At the helm of SDG Lab is Alex Kudos, previously the Chief Marketing Officer at Social Discovery Group. Kudos is not only providing financial backing but is also extending a wealth of resources to these emerging companies. This includes legal services, operational support, tech infrastructure, and marketing savvy—essential tools to help these startups thrive in the dynamic field of social technology.
Alex Kudos emphasizes that “social interaction is evolving, and digital intimacy is the next frontier.” He passionately notes, “At SDG Lab, we’re not just offering financial support—we’re actively shaping the future of human connection. By investing in daring entrepreneurs, we are crafting technologies that forge meaningful relationships, transcending geographical barriers.”
Kudos goes on to articulate a crucial point: “Virtual relationships and AI-driven connections have stepped out of the realm of science fiction into the core of our digital existence. SDG Lab is at the forefront of developing groundbreaking products that will determine how individuals interact, engage, and form relationships online.”
SDG Lab’s ambitious quest to redefine online human interactions promises to impact the way we perceive connection in our modern, tech-driven lives.
