The GDI Podcast: UrSafe – Creating Safer Offline Dating Experiences
On this episode of The GDI Podcast, we’re delighted to be joined by Anthony Oyogoa, CEO and Co-Founder of UrSafe, and Courtney Kovacevich, Consultant at UrSafe.
They join GDI’s Senior Reporter Sean Nolan to discuss UrSafe’s newly launched LGBTQ+ Safe Spaces tool. This innovative feature helps individuals find LGBTQ+ safe spaces in emergencies or SOS situations.
The feature works across all but three countries in the world, guiding LGBTQ+ users to safe shelters and locations, as well as connecting them with emergency services and law enforcement agencies.
Anthony and Courtney also share how UrSafe is helping singles have safer and more comfortable offline experiences and how it can partner with dating apps to make this happen.
Safety features available to daters include Squads which notify friends and family when a user securely reaches a date destination, fake calls (to have an excuse to leave politely), emergency text messages even in areas with no cell reception, crash detection, and more.
The GDI Podcast is sponsored by RealMe. RealMe can provide users instant access to background information, helping more people make genuine connections online, and off.
