Down, Inc. started as Bang With Friends, a viral Facebook app that quickly gained 1M users and attention worldwide. Featured in The Economist, The New York Times, The Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, TechCrunch, and many more outlets, DOWN stands out as the most honest and successful casual dating network in the world.
In 2016, Down, Inc. was acquired by Paktor. In 2018, Founder Colin Hodge and first Product Designer, Nadav Mills, reacquired the company and continue to run it independently to this day.
With DOWN Dating, you can choose whether you want more serious relationships or pure hookups. We view sexuality as a healthy, natural, and crucial aspect in relationships. We are adults, so sexual intention and attraction shouldn't be shamed for.
We want you to have fun with your dating app matches, and we believe it's healthier if people are up-front with what they want by specifying if they want to GET (a) DATE or GET DOWN.
