Date / Mate

How It Works

The Mate

Builds a 2-min pitch deck highlighting why their single mate is the ultimate catch. Humour encouraged.

The Date

The single being pitched. Sit back, sip an Aperol, and let your best mate handle the heavy lifting.

The Room

Surrounded by dozens of other singles and their wingmen in a chilled Dee Why Clubhouse atmosphere.

The Match

No swiping. Just say "Hi, I liked your pitch" — old-school IRL meetings!
