MinglMe in press and media
MinglMe is The Singles Social Club – a Swedish community where singles meet through real-life activities instead of swiping, so called activity dating. Activity dating means meeting other singles through a shared activity — in real life, in a group, and with people in your age group — instead of swiping. Founded in December 2024 by Olga Engvall and Jacob Hell, and headquartered in Stockholm. More than 4,000 people have created an account and connect through food, sports, culture, and social events — always in groups, always age-based, always IRL first.
Here you'll find press coverage, podcasts, and media mentions about MinglMe and the growing shift toward dating in real life.
