The Gay and Queer Matchmaking App That Rethinks Hookup Culture
Grindr Founder Joel Simkhai Launches Motto

Motto's goal is to enable sexual exploration and expression while eliminating catfishing, headless torsos, endless scrolling, toxicity, and discrimination.

Motto, a sex-positive matchmaking app for gay and queer hookups and casual dating, from Joel Simkhai and Alex Hostetler, is now available in New York City. Motto is Simkhai’s first venture since leaving Grindr five years ago, and was created as a premium, adfree alternative for gay and queer community members. Motto focuses on finding you the right people, not just the closest - on the quality of interactions, not the quantity. Motto sends a push notification at the same time every day with a personalized group of people, then members decide if they want to start a conversation or not.
