Just heard on Bloomberg that they signed up 50,000 users in the first two weeks

Not sure what to think about this...other than "why didn't I think of this?".


quote:

Finally. A girlfriend your friends can believe in.”

“Invisible Girlfriend gives you real-world and social proof that you’re in a relationship—even if you’re not—so you can get back to living life on your own terms.”

You can create your own digital partner, one who interacts with you in real-time and has a social media impact. You get photos, voicemails, texts, and even hand-written notes from your created partner.


quote:

Co-founder Kyle Tabor told Betabeat: “Our inaugural service is $24.99 and includes 100 texts, 10 voicemails, and one handwritten note.” They haven’t revealed how they create voicemails, but that is a key dynamic to their service, to really emphasize the existence of this fake person.


quote:

The key here is digital impact, as it can be passed off as evidence of your relationship existing. People have long convinced others they’re in relationships, with scant evidence; now, with a million eyes from social media, those who need to create that illusion require more sophisticated methods than pointing at a random person’s picture and nodding.

I don't need this. I'm dating a hottie named Lennay Kekua. She's awesome--first female Division I football player. You may have seen her in the Rose Bowl last year. She strip-sacked Jameis Winston.

You can always say it's a long distance relationship.

I can see the utility for certain people... A gay guy who wants to stay in the closet, someone trying to make an ex jealous, a woman trying to fend off advances from male coworkers.

Clearly there is demand. 50K people at $25 a pop = $1.25 million gross in two weeks. Like I said, wish I had thought of it

Imagine taking this service out on behalf of a married friend.

I'm guessing you have to text back a confirmation before you start getting them...but if not, that would be fantastic

Couldn't you just buy a throwaway prepaid phone and download a few random pics and do all of this for yourself? Pretty sad in any event.

This dude would get ripped apart on Shark Tank until he said he grossed 1.25M in 2 months
