Curiouzz - a new dating app founded by Ian D’Ornellas that’s flipping the script. Instead of keeping users glued to their phones, Curiouzz is built to get them off the app faster and into real, meaningful experiences.
-- After a decade of swiping, matching, and ghosting, online dating has started to feel like work. Endless scrolling, shallow chats, and dopamine-driven design have left people frustrated and disconnected.
Enter Curiouzz - a new dating app founded by Ian D’Ornellas that’s flipping the script. Instead of keeping users glued to their phones, Curiouzz is built to get them off the app faster and into real, meaningful experiences.
“Most dating apps are designed to keep people swiping,” says Ian D’Ornellas, Founder & CEO of Curiouzz. “Curiouzz was designed to help people actually meet. We’re making dating feel human again - playful, curious, and real.”
The Vault of Curiozzity™: Where Real Connections Begin
At the heart of Curiouzz lies the Vault of Curiozzity™, a gamified discovery experience that replaces superficial swipes with curiosity-driven questions.
Each potential match begins with a few thought-provoking prompts, from “What’s a small thing that always makes your day better?” to “What’s your dream first date?”
As users answer, new layers of the other person’s profile unlock, revealing shared values, voice notes, and eventually, photos.
The more curiosity you show, the more connection you earn.
This unique approach transforms the dating experience by tackling its biggest frustrations:
- Swipe Fatigue: No more endless scrolling - curiosity fuels discovery.
- Superficial Matches: Gradual reveals focus on personality before appearance.
- Ghosting & Distraction: Conversations feel intentional and progress naturally toward real-life connection.
A Shift Toward Meaningful Design
Curiouzz represents a new generation of dating apps built around authenticity, creativity, and safety - values that resonate deeply with Gen Z and Millennials.
Instead of optimizing for screen time or match counts, Curiouzz focuses on emotional depth and real-world chemistry.
Every design choice, from the Vault structure to the “Reveal Together” chat feature, encourages curiosity, transparency, and genuine human interaction.
“Curiouzz is for people who are done auditioning online,” adds D’Ornellas. “We built it for people who want to connect through questions, laughter, and shared curiosity - not algorithms.”
What’s Next
Curiouzz is now live at www.curiouzz.com, where early users can join the waitlist for exclusive pre-launch access.
Initial campaigns are rolling out across Meta, TikTok, and Snapchat as the brand prepares for its first city launches - Ottawa and Miami - this winter.
Early sign-ups will receive limited early access, first-date perks, and free trials of Curiouzz Club, the app’s premium membership designed to enhance curiosity-driven discovery.
