ABOUT THIS PROJECT
DareLisa is a private, 21+ dating app for open-minded singles, couples and the unhappy, built for the lifestyle community: Bull, Hotwife, Cuck, Cuckqueen and Explorer.
We're raising R120,000 to build our Global User Acquisition Engine and Phase 2 Matching Features: about 1,300 new members and smarter ways for the right people to find each other.
THE BACKGROUND
Mainstream dating apps are built for one-to-one, monogamous dating.
Open-minded singles, couples and people in relationships that need something more have very few places built for them, and even fewer that take privacy seriously.
DareLisa launched on 24 August 2026 on iOS, Android and the web. Members can blur their photos with a privacy slider, so others must request access to see them.
They can post anonymously or with their username in the Confession Booth and send a DM to match instantly. Most members are photo-verified, it's free for women, and it's available in five languages.
Since launch: 5,000+ downloads, 1,200+ members in 20+ countries and 25,500+ Instagram followers, on a lean ad budget.

Project FAQ
Who are we?
- We’re the two founders of DareLisa and we build the product together: one of us leads social media, influencers and community, and the other leads business development and partnerships.
- As Youth Commission Leader for the Global Federation of Chambers NPC, DareLisa Co-founder Andrew du Preez built and led local and international corporate relationships. He worked closely with the leadership of organisations such as the JSE, SASOL, WYB and DUNLOP to raise CSI driven capital and improve bottom line results.
- During this time he helped lead the Federation’s engagement with the Ministry of Youth. That work contributed to policy amendments and to new ways for young people to access funding and opportunities. A central part of the role was township economic development.
- Andrew led “business in a box” models that gave entrepreneurs in disadvantaged communities ready-to-run, impact-driven businesses, so these local economies could grow sustainably. He represented the Global Federation of Chambers and its interests at the Africa Rise Indaba. There he spoke on behalf of the Federation to business leaders, policymakers and investors from across the continent.
- Today Andrew applies the same commercial experience to artificial intelligence through WorkWhiz. The company designs and deploys workflow automations, AI agents and custom software for businesses.
- Andrew’s strength is turning AI from a concept into working systems that companies pay for and use every day, cutting manual work and making operations measurably more efficient. With his background in corporate relationships and dealmaking, he can take AI products to market and grow them commercially, not just build them.
Where are we based?
- South Africa, serving members in 20+ countries.
Why Crowdfunding?
- Because our members are our best investors.
- Crowdfunding lets the people who use DareLisa back it directly, get Premium for less, and help shape what we build next, without us giving away control of the company.
What is the plan once 100% funding is received?
- Within 7 days we activate every backer’s reward on their DareLisa account.
- We then put R66,000 into reaching about 1,300 new members over the following months and build our Phase 2 matching features, with updates to backers along the way.
- Lifetime Founders get early access to new features in private beta and VIP access to our premium events.
