How people feel about Flynt
Amie Kabia
Staff User Researcher at Strava
"It was a really great call, we ended the call wondering what the next steps were. Might be nice to have an email reminder after a couple of days, or even straight away with suggested next steps — give feedback, swap details etc."
Francine Loza
Product at Iterate
"I can see Flynt becoming like sort of my assistant for organising how I meet interesting people in London, that would be amazing."
Lucy Miller
Analytics at Let's Do This
"The conversation felt more substantive, both people are personally quite interested in it. It's hard to have a one to one conversation when there are many people involved."
Oscar Morton
Senior Product Designer at Let's Do This
"The countdown and reveal gave me a small rush. The match quality was high, the conversation wasn't awkward, and it worked."
