Join the Rebellion.
We're on a mission to build a healthier and safer dating culture for everyone.
Counting who's joined…First city to 5,000 wins.
A world where we help each other find happiness.
Dating used to be something we did together.
Finding love used to be something we did together. Now it's something we do alone, in private, swiping through strangers on a screen.
We think it's time for that to change, and we're bringing together people who feel the same way.
Our core belief is simple: people need to treat each other better. Not swipe better, not match better. Treat each other better.
Which city dethrones the swiping apps first?
This isn't a race to see which city can get the most installs. It's a race to see which city hates dating apps more, and is willing to be the first to do something about it.
Every city is counted live. At 2,500 members, Penguin opens there and people can start meeting. The first to 5,000 wins.

Nothing changes without people.
We're just like every other dating app, and nothing changes.
We dethrone dating apps and finally fix modern dating culture.
All it takes is 5 minutes to download the app, create an account, and join the waitlist. And that could be all that's needed to help create a better world.
If you actually want change, you need to take action.
A movement on its own can't change anything.
Yes, we're building an app. We know how that sounds.
But a hashtag and good intention on its own is not good enough. People need somewhere to go. Somewhere that isn't Tinder, Bumble or Hinge. If we tell you the apps are broken and offer nothing else, we've changed nothing. So we're building the alternative ourselves.
The difference isn't the technology. It's the intention.
Built to get you across a table from someone in the safest and most respectful way possible.
isn't the finish line. It's the starting line.
It's the minimum it takes to find out if this idea even works. Penguin can't prove it deserves to exist until enough people in one city give it a chance. That's why the race exists.
We're not asking you to trust a finished app. We're asking you to help build the app we all wish existed.
