Foundations
Data first
The venue pipeline and data model designed before the app, so recommendations had something solid to stand on.
IDC,U?: pick a vibe, get a date plan. Curated New York venues by budget and neighbourhood.
A founder in New York with a sharp consumer idea. We led product, built the app, API and admin tooling, and the marketing site, and we keep marketing it.

The problem
Everyone has an opinion on where to go. Nobody wants to decide.
Date-night planning in a city with ten thousand venues. The founder wanted an app that takes a vibe, a budget and a neighbourhood and hands back a plan, with venue quality that could be trusted.
What we built
- Flutter mobile app: choose a vibe, budget and neighbourhood, get a date plan
- Node.js API with Prisma and Postgres
- Separate admin panel for curation
- Venue data pipeline combining Yelp and Resy ratings
- Static marketing site and ongoing marketing
