Denver, CO — 2025

Founded by entrepreneur and storyteller Rachel Dove, Dungeons Not Dating is a first-of-its-kind app created to help Dungeons & Dragons players connect based on shared values, playstyles, and creative interests.

The app officially launched on January 31, 2025, on both Google Play and the App Store, following an incredible journey of persistence and purpose. Built to foster inclusive, welcoming spaces within the tabletop community, Dungeons Not Dating allows users to create profiles, match with potential party members, and start one-on-one or group chats—all while celebrating the imagination and camaraderie at the heart of D&D.

In early development, Dove faced the kind of real-world challenge many first-time founders experience: an unreliable development partner who overcharged by tens of thousands of dollars and delivered unusable code. Rather than walk away, she rebuilt. With the help of new developers, Dove launched a fully redesigned and re-engineered Version 2.0 in March 2025, offering improved functionality, a polished user interface, and an experience worthy of the creative community it serves.

Since its relaunch, Dungeons Not Dating has drawn national attention for its mission-driven approach to tech and community building. Dove's story has been featured in multiple media outlets and podcasts, inspiring other founders—especially women in gaming and tech—to embrace resilience, transparency, and vision.

With new partnerships and updates on the horizon, Dungeons Not Dating continues to grow its player base and impact, uniting adventurers around the world through collaboration, creativity, and shared storytelling.
