Dating apps boomed during the pandemic, when online dating was pretty much the only way to meet romantic connections. And while the honeymoon period seems to be waning between big-name dating apps and users, smaller apps are having a moment. Today, we’ll take the pulse of the industry with Robyn Exton, CEO and founder of the sapphic dating and community app HER. Also: a potential major lithium discovery in southwestern Arkansas.

Emerging media platforms with highly-engaged DEI communities are providing new opportunities for brands to create campaigns – meaningful media experiences - which engage effectively with DEI audiences.In this episode, host Ben Downing, Global Managing Director, Ethical Media and Strategic Partnerships, Havas Media Network and co-host Olivia Dotzek, Strategy Director, Havas Media Network sit down with Robyn Exton, the founder of HER, the world's largest dating and community app for queer women, nonbinary, trans and gender non-conforming people and home to 12 million people around the world, and Amy Still, co-founder, Whisk, which monitors the ‘rising stars' in emerging media.Together Ben, Olivia, Robyn and Amy discuss a raft of issues from how HER is creating meaningful media experiences for brands and what showing up in an authentic way looks like for a brand to details on how HER collaborates with brands and the impact of engaging insights from HER early in the strategy development process lead to success.Research published by Simpson Carpenter (2019) revealed that 31% of the LGBTQ population felt that the ad industry was portraying them badly and 40% of the general population believed advertising was failing to portray different gender identities properly. This year showing solidarity during Pride, and beyond, is more important than ever, underline our guests. From a media perspective, this means ensuring that inclusive values are reflected in where brands invest - ensuring support for minority-owned media platforms and publishers, that are a meaningful source of community and representation for their audiences, and being highly conscious of not inadvertently funding misinformation or anti-inclusive content.We'd love to hear your thoughts about meaningful media.

Learning notes from this episode: An algorithm is just a set of instructions that you put into a computer. JS created a prototype of his algorithm using a spreadsheet. The aim of his algorithm was to give out loans to customers. He bought lending data from the Lending Club and tested it against a control group. This means one set of loan applications was assessed by the algorithm and the other was done manually. By doing this, JS proved that his algorithm was making correct decisions. JS Kung does not have a co-founder. This is contrary to what a lot of prominent VCs say they want, but is in line with several successful founders who have spoken to us: Robyn Exton at HER, Asaf Navot at Home Made, and David Segura who sold Giant Media and is now one of NYC’s top angel investors.

An equal world is an enabled world. Charelle and Verity have recorded a special episode to mark #IWD2020 and discuss this year’s theme which is all around how will you help forge a gender equal world? Celebrate women's achievement. Raise awareness against bias. Take action for equality. We cover the key topics including championing women forging tech innovation, applauding equality for women athletes, forging inclusive workplaces, support women to earn on her own terms and in her own way, empower women through health education and increased visibility for women creatives. Do you think the tech industry is feeling more equal now then 10 years ago? Should female athletes get paid the same as male athletes? Is it important to nurture within the workplace? Did you learn about sex from teen magazines? We discuss the male heavy investors, the pay - and respect - gap in sport, women at every stage of the ladder, where all the female graduates go, imposter syndrome, the poor dialogue around the female anatomy and sex and how festivals are failing to balance the genders in their line-ups. Come join us for this empowering discussion and take a step today towards #each for equal.

Three more Mocha's to go folks. I know I say this about all of the guests, but what I love most about the first Monday Mocha series is the diversity of guests. We've had equality in the sense that we've had the same about of females as we've had males. They all have an inspiring and individual story. Monday's for me have become a day I look forward to than one that I dread. I hope it's been the same for you as well. This guest is someone I would say is the equivalent of the modern day cupid. I guess dating site and app creators are like that, right? Meet Robyn Exton - founder and CEO of lesbian/queer dating app - HER. The creation of the app was originally inspired when one of her best friends asked her for some advice on how to meet women. After working with a tech company, Robyn finally decided to bite the bullet and create HER, which is now operating in over 20 countries in the world. "We look at the struggles and the unique patterns that women have and try and make an app that works best for women" Follow Monique: @RobynExton Featured Voices: Ginni Saraswati, Robyn, Missy Dempsey & Sam Phelps Produced by: Sam Phelps NEXT EPISODE: May 1: Monday Mocha with Eljay Aguilo WEDNESDAY RETURNS: July 2017 Photos: Joey Middleton www.theginnishow.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

LGBT women from different generations in San Francisco talk to guest presenter Lauren Schiller about their sexuality, the city and the changes they've seen in society over the years. Kate Kendell has been described as America's 'Head Lesbian'. She is Director of the National Center for Lesbian Rights, which fights for the legal rights of LGBT people. She grew up in a Mormon family in Utah, and says that when she moved to San Francisco in 1994 her life went 'from monochrome to Kodachrome.' Kate was heavily involved for the fight for equal marriage in California, and married her own long-time partner Sandy in 2008. They have three children. Robyn Exton founded a dating app for lesbian, bisexual and queer women in London in 2013, but two years ago she relocated to San Francisco to be closer to her investors. She also relaunched the app under the name Her - and it's now available in 55 countries. For Robyn, San Francisco has much to offer as a tech hub, but less in terms of the nightlife and parties she enjoys. She says the city is no longer the gay mecca it once was - and she is sad about the demise of the lesbian bar. Image: (L) Robyn Exton. Credit: Helena Price. Image: (R) Kate Kendell. Credit: NCLR.
Robyn is the founder of Her, the largest app for lesbian, bisexual and queer women.

Robyn is also a co-organiser of GeekGirl Meetup UK, a monthly event where inspiring women talk about the latest tech trends, and she’s the Technology Editor for ELLE UK magazine For information regarding your data privacy, visit acast.com/privacy --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nakedinsideout/message
