Next month, PinkDate is launching their closed beta in Toronto. PinkDate is a young app created for the world’s oldest profession. The beta will allow some hundred clients and escorts in Toronto to use a Tinder-like interface to find each other and get together for some fun. They will be helped with everything from verification and deposits to booking and payments. This is the full package solution for the sex industry.

In the current space, there are major issues that stem from lack of innovation and analog traditions. By introducing modern practices that has become common to other industries, PinkDate can hopefully tackle some of these problems. One example is the problem of so-called no-shows, clients who book a date but never show up, leaving the escort with a hefty cost for a hotel room and other expenses. By having the option of a deposit to be paid ahead of the date, clients have stronger reasons to show up, and if they bail nevertheless this deposit will help the escort to cover her costs. The client experience is also improved, perhaps best illustrated by the standard verification system. As it is now, clients have to verify themselves every time they meet a new escort, which requires both time and effort. With PinkDate, clients do it once, and then the platform does the job of providing client’s verification to any new escort they would want to meet.

Neat things like this will obviously be useful for both clients and escorts. Cancellation fees are standard practice in many industries for good reasons. This begs the question: why hasn’t anyone done this before?

To be sure, it’s not that no one saw the benefits of a modern platform for the escorting industry. Instead, the challenge has been to build such a platform. The sex market is stifled by regulations and bans. Every escort site is thus constantly threatened by law enforcement. A new site can go under the radar for some years, but when its popularity increases it’s bound to attract the attention of government. Eros was raided, Backpage was seized and Craigslist had to shut down its personal ads section. There is no reason to innovate, as law enforcement will crack down on every popular site, and those who despite this tries to innovate and enhance the user experience will not last long.

This is the essential problem that PinkDate solves. It has put enormous effort into its security. The thought power and work effort dedicated to hiding the identities of the team and location of their servers is just amazing: https://medium.com/@PinkDate/pink-app-trading-latency-for-anonymity-and-other-techniques-815ee21c6da4 PinkDate’s system is also constructed so that if a raid somehow were to occur, no user data could possibly be collected from the servers: https://medium.com/@PinkDate/why-you-should-be-concerned-about-the-recent-eros-com-raid-5f3fd6a5db77

By placing themselves outside the reach of government, the company can bring some much-needed stability and security to the world of online escorting services. Their security approach is unique and truly revolutionary. In a world of raids and short-lived businesses, PinkDate will remain. It will persevere in providing its services, and won’t leak any user data. A growing user base will bring network effects, not a government raid. The immense security measures enables the company to have many nice and useful features.

PinkDate is more than just a cool sex-startup or an interesting dividend-ICO: it is a potential Titan. It has what it takes to some day becoming an institution that people relies on. The PinkDate revolution is one of trust, security and stability, and it could significantly improve the lives and experiences of escorts and clients.
