GDI Podcast: Ethan Martin, Founder of SLIDE1828

Global Dating Insights (GDI) has released its latest podcast episode, which this week features Ethan Martin, Founder of SLIDE1828.

In this episode, Ethan talks to industry consultant Bill Alena to discuss his innovative approach to dating apps, focusing exclusively on the 18-28 demographic and creating a vibrant, music-driven user experience.

Ethan shared how his own experiences, combined with those of his friends, led him to realize that the current dating landscape wasn’t truly meeting the needs of younger users. While apps like TikTok were capturing gen Z’s attention with energetic, engaging content, dating apps felt outdated and lacked excitement.

The episode is now live and available to stream on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and all major podcast platforms.
